The evidence-based approach developed by the Center for Mindful Self-Compassion (CMSC) provides structured methods to cultivate a supportive inner attitude.

Self-Care
Emerging research suggests that even brief daily Mindfulness practice may positively influence stress processing, self-care behaviour, and overall well-being – British Journal of Health Psychology, August 21, 2024.
Perspectives from Harvard Health highlight Mindfulness as a supportive component of sustainable stress regulation.
Training the Brain
Research from the Center for Healthy Minds (University of Wisconsin–Madison) suggests that regular contemplative practice may support long-term neuroplastic changes associated with emotional balance and resilience.
“Our brains can be shaped over time by both positive and negative experiences and emotions. Meditation practice, even short-term, has been linked with changes in gene expression…
in ways that could improve health.”
(September 2025) – Dr Richard J. Davidson
