MINI COURSE

with

Welcome to Session 4 of the Stress Detox Mini Course!

This mini course reflects some of the fundamental principles from my signature one on one coaching program. You will experience a bit of what I teach in these in depth, personalized sessions as you work your way through the course.

Session 4 is about cultivating compassion and empathy to increase our capacity for forgiveness, connection to others, self-acceptance and releasing guilt and shame.

We’ll be concluding this mini course with a profound way to kick stress, worry, judgment of others and self bullying through cultivating compassion with a loving kindness meditation.

What is Loving Kindness Meditation?

As we discovered in Session 2, meditation has been shown to be an effective antidote to stress and anxiety and may buffer against maladaptive stress responses.

Loving Kindness Meditation is a specific type of meditation that has been practiced for thousands of years and has been included in Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction programs and the subject of many scientific studies.

The basic point of the loving kindness meditation is to focus on loving energy toward oneself and others.

How Loving Kindness heals us

Research indicates that Loving Kindness Meditation can foster compassion, empathy and connectedness, as well as reduce anger, depression, and anxiety1.

Additionally, positive emotions, generated through meditation, can improve environmental mastery, flexibility in thinking, and creative problem-solving.

Compassion and empathy fostered from this loving kindness practice helps us mend relationships (with others as well as ourselves) and move forward while cultivating emotional intelligence and well-being.

Those who practice loving-kindness meditation regularly are able to increase their capacity for forgiveness, connection to others, self-acceptance, and more.

This shift in mindset greatly reduces stress as we heal our relationships with our inner selves and those around us.

Exercise #4: A Loving Kindness Meditation to eliminate stress through cultivating empathy and self compassion.

This meditation uses words, images, and feelings to evoke a lovingkindness and friendliness toward oneself and others.

The best part is that this technique is easy to practice and can make you feel happier in minutes.

Action plan

  1. Add Loving Kindness Meditation into your regular meditation practice.
