The Center For Mindful Self-Compassion

When stress outweighs our patience it can be a challenge to be kind to ourselves and others.🩵

MSC Teacher Christine Grace McMulkin leads us in practice of using breath to receive self-compassion for ourselves and to offer it to the world outside of us.

SLOW Soft Landing Practice led by Lisa Baylis

Self-compassion is a powerful tool for mental health. By treating ourselves with the same kindness and understanding we’d offer a friend, we reduce anxiety, boost resilience, and create space for healing.

This MHAW, let’s remember: caring for our own well-being is not selfish—it’s essential.

💞 Self-Compassion Phrase 💞 : "May I know that I am enough just as I am. May I accept my imperfections with gentleness and patience."
