Self-compassion is more effective than will-power to transcend the adversity, suffering, and addiction. Recognizing that being human means making mistakes shifts our focus from perfection to acceptance, learning, and growth.

Thoughts emerge in a continous observable stream. We are not our thoughts. However, we can rewire our brains through the neuroplasticity of mindfulness and convert temporary mind-states into more durable mind traits.

The Mindfulness Awareness Practice (MAP) of RAIN gives you four transformative powers:

• The power to Recognize the reality of your experience.

• The power to Allow that experience to be temporary.

• The power to Investigate your felt sense of that experience and your deepest need.

• The power to Nurture with self-compassion using your signature strengths toward your highest values.
