Self Compassion During Pandemic

During this time of pandemic, there may be many needs that we have that are not being met. How we relate to our unmet needs determines the degree to which we suffer or find peace and freedom. As we are able to be mindful, kind and feel our common humanity during difficult times it becomes possible for our hearts to soften toward ourselves and others. This form of love can be a powerful healing force in our lives and in the world. 

 

 "Compassion arises when we experience suffering, and to experience suffering directly we need to be in touch with vulnerability in our body, where the suffering registers. Then the natural response is tenderness. Self-compassion then allows us to feel compassionate toward others: If we have not been with our own vulnerability, we cannot resonate with another person’s vulnerability" Tara Brach
