Christopher Germer on Mindful Self-Compassion
Have you noticed how easy it is to judge oneself when things go wrong, instead of becoming your own best friend? Mindful self-compassion can help us to be kinder to ourselves just in those moments that we need it the most.
Research shows that mindful self-compassion has a number of effects, including:
* Emotional wellbeing
* Coping with life challenges
* Lower levels of stress, anxiety and depression
* Higher levels of life satisfaction, happiness and gratitude
* Healthy lifestyle habits such as diet and exercise
* More satisfying personal relationships
In this video, the pioneer Christopher Germer discusses the three main components of Mindful self-compassion:
1. Mindfulness
2. Common humanity
3. Self-Kindness
He also tells us why it is important to not only be mindful of your own experience, but also turn this loving awareness to the experiencer, i.e. yourself.
Christopher Germer is a clinical psychologist, meditation teacher, co-founder of the Center for Mindful Self-Compassion and the author of bestselling books, such as "The Mindful Path to Self-Compassion". Together with Kristin Neff, he has created an eight-week program in Mindful Self-Compassion that has been spread throughout the world.
This film runs 23:46, and is produced by Johan Bergstad, psychologist, public speaker and founder of Mindfulness Academy Scandinavia: mindfulnessacademy.com.

4:24 amazing lightbulb moments 💡 thank you for sharing this! priceless talk 🙏
You're welcome! :-)
Mindful self compassion is a very important tool to live amid suffering and being subjected to suffering. Thank you for sharing this 🙏
When are you coming to the United kingdom?
I don't think Jon has anything scheduled in the United Kingdom at the moment. However, you are welcome to join us for the coming live session via the app Jon Kabat-Zinn Meditations. jkzmeditations.com/live-with-jon/
Everyone needs to read the Bible that has all the answers to life's problems, Jesus Christ is the only solution to all our problems, l highly recommend JESUS'S METHODS. THANKS 🙏
Really helpful to think of that fight -flight - freeze turned inward - and now that relates to emotional systems. Kinda obvious but never made that leap :-)
It doesn't seem to be as easy as they say to have self compassion. They say its within you but i can't find it.
Agree, this can feel pretty much like the hardest work in the World ...
Thank you
I love it
Happy to hear that! :-)
This has helped me a lot. My friends when struggling a bit all end up responding to the same statements of mine, "I have an oppressive mind". But my friends do not sign up. That is up to them. The search is ongoing for them. My life is less stressful and a bit more productive. Really the things I thought were hardships are not so bad. In fact I have had a lot of luck and can make a lot more luck for myself.
Anyone know any good books about mindfulness I can buy?
Perhaps you would like to read Jon Kabat-Zinn's book "Wherever You Go There You Are". Highly recommended. 😊
Wow ❤️
I needed other-compassion to heal from my self-loathing/shame from extensive childhood abuse, and found that in my 12-step meetings where "protection and care" (i did not get in childhood) were unspoken but freely given, over, and over again. As we say in recovery: "can't do it by myself". Stress R Us
Agree, other-compassion is equally important! 🙏
Great talk 🇯🇲
Great presentation
wonderful
I tried to watch this, but I kept getting distracted... Is that bad?
Sounds completely natural ... :-)
Are they on Android also?
Hi! This video with Jon Kabat-Zinn is a bit old. Please check out the new app “Jon Kabat-Zinn Meditations”, which is available for Android too.
The poem got me so emotional. It's made me realize how I have been so busy and I neglected myself. In the process I have lost myself.
Thanks for sharing!
what would the world and humanity be like if we would be non judgemental to ourselves.
A more beautiful place .... 😊
This lecture was well needed yet my concern is how put it into action.
Appreciate the insights into Mindfulness. I strongly believe mindfulness has a lot to offer on healing from our sufferings and learning to manage and confront our thoughts and emotions more effectively.
Just hearing his voice makes me feel like everything is ok in this life. 🙏❤️
Same for me! :-) /Johan (founder of Mindfulness Academy Scandinavia )

Funny thing is I really did just stumble into this lecture from a very different video, but was mindful enough to stick around and even come back. I admire your knowledge and your humor! I thank you for your footprint in our world you help make the world a better place!
Happy you liked this lecture by Jon Kabat-Zinn!
What an excellent talk. Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn, Ph.D. has helped me re-build my life as I live with Bipolar II.
“It’s not what you do it’s the way that you do it” - smart phones are intrinsically distracting, but how we use them to feed the distracted kind is 👌 perfect solution thanks Jon

Elon Musk is about the UNIVERSE. It's crazy interesting. But what's crazy crazy interesting is this Gigantic beautiful thing we have in our minds. The mindfulness and the body and the whole connection between them and emotions. It's a whole other universe to discover.
Agree! 😊
Something just came into my mind now again: about words whole and health... In Hungarian whole is egész and health is egészség, which literally means whole-ness... :)
Thank you 🙏😊
You're welcome Andrea! 😊🙏
Very much the same view as (Syd Banks Three Principals, or Echart Tolle or Byron Katie ) that your thoughts and what you are thinking is the cause all mental problems such as depression, anxiety, fear, worry, etc. very good part at 32 minutes

He is a gift to anyone who kistens to him.
Poor men always imaging the picture of the men in porn not realizing it just a zoomed in photo💪 he dreams at night why not him as he stretches out his hand two small inches🤪🙀🤠👌his arrogant foolish mind keeps him on the porn picture he walks around always looking down too see how many of his friends hang there heads down...Now we have a man who wrote a book about love sex and the mind...Look at this man and his age he too can only stretch his hand out two inches🙃🙀yet he tells u that it is scientific about his research 🤣😂😅😀🦵❤️🙏
Amazing to realize how I felt so unconfortable in paying attention to breathing, because I have always thought I was breathing "wrong" , too shallow and that would bring me even more thoughts of fear and the need of doing something to breath "better" , always believing there is something wrong with me. The eternal need of doing...to become better than you already are! Thank you for this amazing video❤🙏
Thanks for sharing Dimitra!
"Acceptance is recognizing how things actually are in relationship to everything else, in relation to what's more important. Not recognize it, not see it is just being unconscious. If you tell someone with a serious medical condition that causing chronic pain to accept pain they may not be able to do that ( want to do that). If you say, you must accept pain, with just create more pain. What acceptance really means is recognizing, this is how it is now and finding some way to have a wise relationship to it, not struggle with it, but it doesn't mean becoming a passive victim, it doesn't mean passive resignation. No, it means a silent answer "Can I be in some relationship with it". Most of the time when you are in pain the impulse is to run away from it, turn away, block it out, whatever is required. So, people who are in chronic pain turn toward it, they put out a welcome matt and say, "Ok, as long as you are here let's have a conversation. Let's feel each other, let's see how the relationship might be". When chronic pain patients do that they surprisingly find room to be in a relationship with that experience. Before, all they wanted to run away from that experience, cut it out, shut down completely or kill themselves. And now all of a sudden there is room. As soon there is a room that is acceptance. Will it grow over time? Who knows. But will take it moment by moment. And as a rule, it does grow over time. But you can't tell someone to accept anything. You have to come to that themselves so that the mindfulness practice becomes an adventure." Jon Kabat-Zinn ( Made this transcript for my migraine journal. All the best to you who is reading this text now)
Well said 👍 thank you for posting this I will use it to help with the pain in my broken leg
