Humanity cannot survive without empathy, understanding, sensitivity and kindness. We all need to be compassionate towards others. In this gentle and restorative practice we come to realise that we all need to be open to receive compassion from others and most importantly, act with compassion towards ourselves. If we cannot be kind to ourselves, we cannot be kind to anyone else. It really is that simple. As the Dalai Lama states: “If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.”
