How to deepen self-compassion with shadow work and self-forgiveness | Part 1 of 2

Do you feel like there's a part of you you try to hide from everyone—even yourself? Learning to love that part of yourself is essential for self-forgiveness, self-acceptance, and emotional healing. And it has a name: shadow work.  Balance meditation expert Ofosu discusses his experience with shadow work and how you can start to do this shadow work yourself. He also shares why self-forgiveness is necessary for self-compassion.  Listen to Ofosu’s new album “AMIDA,” an exploration of self-compassion and mindfulness through hip-hop, released under his stage name “Born I.” https://onerpm.link/amida  For more self-compassion support, find Ofosu in the Balance app. It’s completely free for your entire first year. https://balanceapp.sng.link/Arat1/yqod/dyc1 Our interview with Tara Brach about the RAIN Method: https://youtu.be/9tMt5utDZvs?si=tpqijwfcEcKsbPqr
