13 | Lorna Elliott - A Journey of Self-Compassion

In this month's Embracing Mystery podcast, we have the joy of welcoming Lorna Elliott to a conversation about the journey of learning to love who we are. She shares about her own insights from trauma training, inner child work, and connecting with her creativity. Learning to love who we are is a journey that can take a lifetime, but it is one of our most essential tasks. It is framed in different ways depending on the spiritual tradition, but there is a common move in contemplative spirituality towards having greater self-compassion, letting go of our egos, and not taking ourselves too seriously. It is an embracing of our true selves. Yet, so often it is easier to have compassion for others and to enjoy who they are, than it is to simply enjoy our own selves. Why is that?!
