## Resource

We often find it easier to show compassion to others than to ourselves. In this gentle Christian meditation, Brother Richard invites you to discover the practice of self-compassion—receiving yourself with the same kindness, patience and mercy that God offers to you. Through breath awareness, relaxation and prayerful reflection, you'll learn to hold your struggles without judgement, recognise yourself as beloved, and allow compassion to become the foundation of your relationship with yourself and with others. Whether you're beginning your day, winding down before sleep, or simply seeking a moment of calm, this guided meditation offers a peaceful space to rest in God's love and renew your heart.
