The RAIN meditation accompanies week 3 of Mindarma's Mindful May series (deepening your practise with Self-Compassion) with Dr Sadhbh Joyce.
The RAIN practise helps us to attend and befriend our minds, bodies and our experiences with mindfulness and self-compassion. We learn how to offer ourselves warmth, care, kindness and support.
R - Recognise what is going on
A - Allow the experience to be there, just as it is
I - Investigate with care and interest
N- Nurture with self-compassion (warmth, care, support): Gesture of care, soothing pause, supportive self-talk, words of encouragement, kindness & reassurance.
If you'd like to learn more about the RAIN practise, we highly recommend the book Radical Compassion by Dr Tara Brach.
