One tenant of mindfulness is non-judgmental awareness, and you’ll learn how cultivating that trait is important for both mind and body. Mindfulness is also one of the three elements of self-compassion (the other two are self-kindness and common humanity), and you’ll learn how that will help be happier—and even healthier—than the elements that are the opposite of self-compassion (self-judgment, isolation and over-identification). We’ll also discuss how to create mindfulness and self-compassion practices, which might include meditation (although they don’t have to).
