This blog has many lovely readers and one just e-mailed me a link to a website I thought you might like. It's called self-compassion.org and is a collection of writings, MP3 downloads, and exercises all focused on self-compassion.
There's even a test you can take called 'How Self-Compassionate Are You?' (I'll admit I'm a little scared to take that test!)
There are some lovely resources on the site, including some written self-compassion exercises that I'm going to try. The website's author, Kristen Neff, is a US professor who is also a Buddhist and has a book about self-compassion coming out in April.
Another website I discovered recently is Levine Talks - which features audio by the wonderful teachers and writers Steven and Ondrea Levine who spent many years working with sick and dying people. This website has been set up to give some financial support to Steven and Ondrea who are now retired and both quite unwell - so it's not free. (But, at $10 a month it's not crazy expensive either!)
Hope you are all enjoying the first days of the New Year (and not snowed under!)
