Resum

Background: Cultivating a compassionate mind has been shown to alleviate and prevent psychological difficulties. Compassion-based approaches, such as compassion-focused therapy (CFT) and mindfulness-based self-compassion (MSC), have expanded rapidly in recent decades. This study introduces the being method (BM), a novel compassion-based programme integrating Buddhist philosophy and contemporary psychology, focusing on fostering self-compassion and compassion. Methods: A non-randomised, wait list controlled, quasi-experimental pre-post design was employed. Participants were 47 women aged 18–53 years (M = 36.02, SD = 11.86), recruited from personal growth contexts within a non-clinical population. They were allocated to an intervention group (n = 25) or a wait list control group (n = 22). Measurements included the Compassionate Engagement and Action Scales (CEAS), Peace of Mind Scale (PoMS), Oxford Happiness Questionnaire (OHQ), Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES), Coping Response Inventory (CRI-A), and Cognitive-Behavioural Strategies Evaluation Scale (MOLDES). Results: Significant improvements were observed in (self-)compassion, peace of mind, happiness, and stress coping and cognitive-emotional strategies among intervention participants compared with controls. Effect sizes ranged from medium to large. Self-esteem did not change significantly. Conclusions: These findings provide preliminary evidence supporting the BM as a feasible and effective intervention for promoting emotional balance and personal growth through (self-)compassion, highlighting its contribution to mental health promotion and well-being.
