Compassion Meditation & Practices

'Compassion allows us to accept that we are as we are and that trying to be any different is not only painful but a great dishonour to ourselves…’ It’s a space for ourselves, warts and all. It’s a curiosity about ourselves rather than a judgement or comparison to others, or to our cultural conditioning. Culture is in every sound you make, every action you take, so don’t believe you’re an island, none of us are. Compassion practices patiently teach us to grow to love ourselves. I am learning to do so from the wisdom of those who have discovered these truths before me, such as the author of Mindfulness and Compassion, Embracing life with Loving Kindness. Suryacitta, aka The Happy Buddha, from whose teachings and experiences, among others, I draw on and share with you to enjoy and learn from.
