From The mindful path to self-compassion by Christopher K Germer
‘Compassion and loving-kindness are skills – not gifts that we’re born with or not – and each of us, without exception, can develop and strengthen these skills and bring them into our everyday lives’
‘We can benefit by turning towards our emotional pain (bringing kindness to ourselves)…. Leaning into our problems with open eyes and an open heart – with awareness and compassion- is the process by which we get emotional relief.’
