About this listen

Over the past decade, an overwhelming body of research has shown self-compassion to be key to good psychological and physical health. Whether you wish to reduce stress, develop healthy habits for exercise or diet, unlock your creativity, or even deal with serious conditions such as depression or addiction, a strong sense of self-compassion is an essential ingredient for success. Best of all, self-compassion is a skill that can be learned. Dr. Kristin Neff presents a simple guided meditation focusing on gratitude and kindness toward every part of the body.

Kristin Neff's warm voice and guidance are both gentle and clear, easy to follow and relax into. I loved this body scan. Feeling very relaxed, with a greater awareness of how my body is feeling, part by part, leading to more compassion towards each piece of my body, as well as a whole..therefore kinder, gentler towards myself. Feel physically calm and relaxed, at ease. Wonderful to have this experience during lockdown, a peaceful holiday for both body and mind. Highly recommend, will repeat it often.

Great author, but this is the worst version of a body scan I have ever come across.
Makes no sense at all to me, to start with the toes. Annoying voice. Poor delivery.
