My Pocket Meditations for Self-Compassion (mini-review)


 My Pocket Meditations for Self Compassion (2020) by Courtney E. Ackerman

This slim volume contains 150 guided meditations to help guide the reader to self-acceptance and self-awareness. Meditations include everything from a focus on what you like about yourself as well as what you like least to exercises meant to teach you to accept yourself exactly as you are. Learning to love yourself with all your flaws is part of that acceptance. It is perfectly okay to want to work on changing those aspects about yourself that you wish were better--but, if something is not subject to change, then it is better to acknowledge that that particular aspect is part of what makes you the unique human being you are. Meditations focus on physical aspects as well as mental and emotional aspects. The goal: to lead those who are serious about the exercises to be more comfortable in their own skin and to live with self-awareness and kindness towards themselves and others.

Ideal for those who struggle with self-image and self-awareness who would like to become more accepting of who they are and what their strengths and weaknesses are.   ★★

Sorry folks, but I have been getting an incredible amount of spam. I have adjusted my settings and all messages will be moderated from now on. If that does not take care of the problem then I will have to go to the "Prove You're Not a Robot" thing--which I hate as much as you do.

If your name does not appear automatically, please tell me your name in the comment. Otherwise you will just show up as "Unknown." Thanks!
