Compassion towards ourselves heals our inner wounds from "summary" of Real Happiness by Sharon Salzberg
When we turn our attention inward with a caring and compassionate attitude, we begin to nurture and heal the wounds that have been buried deep within us. It is this compassionate approach towards ourselves that allows us to confront our pain and suffering with kindness and understanding, rather than judgement and harshness. By acknowledging our inner wounds and offering ourselves the same love and compassion we would offer a friend in need, we are able to create a space for healing and transformation to take place within us. This act of self-compassion is not about dismissing or denying our pain, but rather about facing it with courage and resilience. It is about recognizing that we are deserving of love and kindness, even in the face of our own imperfections and vulnerabilities. Through this practice of self-compassion, we are able to break free from the cycle of self-criticism and self-hatred that often keeps us stuck in a state of suffering. As we cultivate compassion towards ourselves, we begin to loosen the grip of our inner wounds and allow space for healing to occur. We start to see ourselves in a new light, one that is filled with acceptance and forgiveness. This shift in perspective enables us to release the pain and suffering that we have been holding onto for so long, and to move forward with a sense of peace and wholeness. It is through the practice of self-compassion that we are able to mend the broken parts of ourselves and to transform our inner wounds into sources of strength and resilience. By treating ourselves with kindness and compassion, we are able to tap into a wellspring of healing energy that has the power to transform our lives in profound and meaningful ways.
