We all need to practice things we want to develop, especially if these are new or unfamiliar. We can't expect to run a marathon unless we get up off our comfy couch and start running. We need to start by running around the block, then gradually increasing our distance until we're where we want to be. It's the same with compassion. The science of compassion is now clear, we can train our minds in certain ways that will facilitate and strengthen our ability to access compassion. And there are a whole host of benefits, for our mental and physical health, our relationships and our lives.

Click on the links below for compassion practices from CFT that will support you to develop your compassionate mind. You can access and download these free of charge, as often as is helpful.

We'd love to hear your experience of these, so please be in touch and let us know what you think. We want to offer what you need, so if there are other practices you'd like to see us include here, then please reach out to ask for these too.

Wishing you can take a step closer to compassion and all it's gifts today.
