Compassion is the practice of recognizing and accepting our shared humanity. Compassion is our natural response to suffering.

Compassion is critical for good health. Science demonstrates compassion is more important to your overall wellness, mental and physical health to practice self-compassion than being the ideal body weight or exercising. Unfortunately, many of us have compassion for everyone else but lack compassion for the self!

Practicing loving-kindness and compassion supports you in cultivating present, open-hearted attentiveness with yourself and others, as well as taking action in the face of suffering.
