Recently I had the privilege to be interviewed by Kate Ensor for the First Episode of Season Two of the Realise Mindfulness Podcast Series with a focus on Mindful Compassion.

Last week Kate marked the launch as follows:
*"We enjoy a deep and broad ranging conversation, talking about how mindfulness helps us address the universal mechanisms contributing to suffering and how self-compassion supports us to relate more kindly to our inner critic, opening possibilities to transform our relationship with ourselves and those around us.

We also explore the interconnection of self-compassion and compassion for the others, challenging some of the myths and resistance we can commonly encounter when beginning to practice compassion.

The symbolism of the lotus reminds us how the muddy parts of our lives can offer up opportunities for transformation and growth if we approach them with compassion and kindness. And of course, we join together in some meditation practices, beautifully guided by Erik to enable us to share an experience of mindful compassion.

You can enjoy a taste of our conversation in this short clip and I would be delighted to have you join us by listening to the podcast in full on my website or your podcast provider of choice.

And if you like it please share it with anyone you know who may be interested in exploring compassion for themselves, in this way creating ripples of kindness."*

Many thanks to Kate Ensor and Realise Mindfulness!
