🔵 WHAT IS COMPASSION?
Compassion is the capacity to be sensitive to the suffering of ourselves and others and the willingness to relieve and prevent it. It is a capacity inherent in all of us which for many reasons does not always come to flourish. Fortunately, it can be trained, developed and deepened through practice. Compassion is characterised by kindness and receptivity as well as courage and responsibility. Many believe compassion should be directed towards others rather than ourselves. But self-compassion is not a selfish activity. Research increasingly shows that self-compassion is, like mindfulness, key to mental health and goes hand in hand with greater openness and empathy towards others.
