Audio Practice #3
Affectionate Breathing [3:59]

Instructions: Sit or lie down in a comfortable position, take a few full breaths, and click play ⏵ on the video or audio above.

​Affectionate breathing is a mindful self-compassion practice, centred on kindness to yourself. You visualize breath as a friend or companion in relationship with you. It is like practicing breathing as an anchor, and adding kindness and intentional friendly imagery.
