The practice of self-compassion can help you cultivate a more respectful, patient, and loving relationship with yourself, and gently tame the "inner critic". A powerful complement to the awake Self-Compassion program, this hypnotic imagery, set to the sound of soothing ocean waves, will help you overcome any remaining, conscious resistance to self-acceptance by sending positive, loving messages during the restful, and absorptive state of restorative sleep.

Why does it feel so natural to be compassionate and kind to those we care about - yet so hard to treat ourselves the same way? "Our culture teaches us to use self-criticism for motivation and to build self-esteem by constantly measuring ourselves against everyone else," says Dr. Kristin Neff. "We need to re-learn the essential skill of being genuinely nurturing and supportive toward ourselves."

Publisher's Summary
The practice of self-compassion can help you cultivate a more respectful, patient, and loving relationship with yourself. Soothing but powerful hypnotic imagery and affirmations help you take the perspective of the patient and loving observer and wise guide, release self-criticism, and foster feelings of self-kindness.
Regular use can help you remember you are far more than any challenge, self-judgement, or life event - all of which are universal, and thankfully, temporary.

Traci Stein is one of the very best.
She's wonderful and the woman really knows her stuff. I know I'll sound shallow saying this, but a person's voice and style, demeanor is important if they are leading guided meditations. They can't speak at too fast of a clip and their voice should be clear and soothing. Ms. Stein has those things and her scripts are top-notch. I'd prefer it if she had a body-scan sequence on every meditation but that's just a niggle. Her body-scans are top-rate, as well. If you utilize these meditations properly and do them every day, you need music that's not too intrusive, a kind, amiable speaker with a good script ---- Ms. Stein has all these elements.
