Compassion and self care

Compassion and self-care

Heather's MusingsBy Mindfulness AssociationJanuary 15, 20191 Comment

A fruition of my compassion practice over the years is an increased ability to care for my physical and mental wellbeing. While I was away on holiday, I recognised – again – that the physical and mental stress of working too hard is damaging my health. My husband has been telling me this for years…

WIld Geese - Mary Oliver

Wild Geese – Mary Oliver

Words of WonderBy Kristine Mackenzie-JansonMay 4, 2018

You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves. Tell me about your despair, yours, and I will tell you mine. Meanwhile the world goes…
