All that is not love, must transform in the presence of love.

 
The Compassion Process® is a method developed and taught by Shelly Smith. Its development is the result of over two decades of exploration, study, and practice of the most powerful, body-based, emotional healing, and release techniques available. Her intention has been to find those methods which promote change at the cellular level which are also the most easeful and practical. The Compassion Process® was inspired by and draws from a variety of excellent methods, including but not limited to:

​Inspired by

• The Sedona Method
• The Release Technique
• Focusing
• The Imago Model of Couples Therapy
• The Body-Centered work of Drs. Gay and Kathlyn Hendricks
• Somatic Experiencing
• Various Mindfulness-Based Practices

Learn How To

• Release stress and other negative emotions as you have them
• Release chronic emotions or emotional states
• Release what's blocking you from making the changes you want to make
• Feel more peaceful about just about anything
• ​Be more available for creative solutions, new ideas, and Divine Guidance

​

How It Works

You will learn how to "ground", quiet your overactive thinking brain, reconnect with your body, and learn how to hear what your bodymind has to say. You will learn how to listen so that it will reveal feelings that are just beneath the surface of awareness. Once acknowledged, you will learn how to relate to these feelings in a way that invites them to release.

​

Basic Tenets

• Feelings, thoughts. beliefs, and memories live in the body in what's called the bodymind.
• The bodymind is the unconscious mind.
• Feelings, thoughts, beliefs, and memories are made up of energy.
• ​Generally speaking, there are only two kinds of energy - the love kind and the non-love kind. You know the difference. One feels good, the other feels bad.
• Only love energy can convert non-love energy.
• If you want to free yourself of limiting, non-love energies, you must first access them via the bodymind and then introduce them to the love and compassion that resides within your own beingness.
• Compassion lives in your heart - not in your head.

“Neuroscience research shows that the only way we can change ​the way we feel is by becoming aware of our inner experience and learning to befriend what is going on inside ourselves.”  Bessel Van Der Kolk, M.D.
