Self-Compassion

10/17/2017

Here are a few self-compassion supporting quotes and mantras that were mindfully planted through-out the classes this week. Thank-you to yoga student Lesley Arnould for sharing the first mantra prayer.

"May I be grateful for what I have,
May I bravely acknowledge what I need,
May I wisely know that the path to enlightenment requires both" Canadian Living Magazine, Oct 2017

"My beloved child, break your heart no longer.
Each time you judge yourself, you break your own heart." - Swami Kripalu

"Be still beloved heart, and know that you are safely held" - Amy Weintraub

"To give ourselves compassion, we first have to recognize that we are suffering. We can't heal what we can't feel." - Dr. Kirstin Neff, self-compassion researcher

Self-esteem and self-compassion are often used interchangeably. But the fact is- self-esteem is different from self-compassion. Self-esteem needs you to feel that you are better. It needs you to compare yourself to others. On the other hand, self-compassion does not require any comparison. It becomes stronger, especially when the condition is not going your way. Self-esteem is completely based on self-evaluation. It is based on feeling different and is associated with a deficiency of clemency for alternative frame of references. On the contrary, self-compassion emphasizes interconnection and is based on self-acceptance.
