If you are finding it hard to breathe, open your arms wide, tilt your chest upward, straighten your spine, open your mouth wide like an eagle, take a deep full all-encompassing breath and visually greet the multidimensional expansive energy of Great Mystery.

Repeat.

Blessings

I am very thankful to be selected to present at The Mind & Life Institute 2020 Contemplative Research Conference (CRC).

I will be presenting a new aspect of my Ph.D. research, which addresses two current gaps in academic literature (1) related to experiencing and measuring "in the moment self-compassion". Currently, a change in compassion is generally measured before and after many sessions, but not before and after each session. (2) Traditionally, participants are the only ones measured for changes in self-compassion. However, this tool also measures the change in practitioners and researchers before and after each compassion development session.

My presentation entitled "In the Moment Self Compassion Traits Scale" measures sessional changes in participant, practitioner, and researcher self-compassion traits pre and post-session over the course of multi-session workshops and interventions.
