Kristin Neff: The Science Of Self-compassion

[Colin]

I decided to post this because I think self love and self compassion are both extremely important for me and humanity at large. Plus I have had some discussion about self love on this forum so think this may resonate with some people here. This video is a little on the boring side. It is coming from an academic perspective, but it is a good introduction to the fact that there is actual science being done in this field, yielding great results, and that this field very recently has started to explode with the amount of research being done. It presents some ideas and techniques and gives some ideas around the topic. I certainly wouldn't say that this is a complete reference for the subject, but a welcome addition of knowledge. She has more extensive courses she offers that I am considering someday taking, but if you want the rubber to meet the road right now, I still stand by using the affirmations "I love myself" over and over day after day.
