Build steadiness. Strengthen self-trust. Interrupt self-criticism.

Affectionate Breathing

Affectionate Breathing is a guided meditation from the Mindful Self-Compassion program in which you anchor your attention on the natural rhythm and sensations of the breath, including its gentle, rocking quality. As you rest with the breath, you’re invited to experience it as soothing and supportive—allowing the body’s internal rhythm to become a source of steadiness and care.
