A ten-minute, audio meditation designed to increase self-empathy and self-compassion, taken from Shantigarbha’s forthcoming book on empathy. “Taking a time in” is for when you’re feeling stressed, and want to reconnect without escalating the situation.

“Taking a time in” means getting in touch with whatever is out of balance. It means transforming judgements and blame into feelings and universal human needs. Once re-grounded and centred by “taking a time in” we can continue with our everyday activities.
