Day 29: Body Scan to Cultivate Compassion for Self

Meditation Series: Cultivate and Experience Compassion
Led by RJ Lisander

In this practice, we will use the breath and a mindfulness the body to welcome compassion for self.

RJ Lisander (she/her/hers)

Having had two TBIs RJ understands the challenges and effects of recent and long-term injury. I have worked hard to overcome many of these challenges, yet it wasn't until I found LoveYourBrain that all the pieces fell into place. I am honored and humbled to share this program and witness the growth of each practitioner.

Why LYB: I'm always inspired by the resilience of the human spirit. We can achieve more than we may think with practice, patience and kindness to self and others. I see this in every individual and every class with whom I am lucky enough to spend time on the mat.

Superhero: My hero is always the person who took a risk, tried something new, pushed a boundary for growth (both personal and communal).

Resources: I founded Lotus Seed Lifestyles to offer a space to work with individuals, non-profits, and community groups to offer yoga and meditation as paths to recovery and personal improvement. You can learn more about what I do through my website, www.lotusseedlifestyles.com.
