“Mindfulness practice increases compassion over time.
It does this by developing the capacity to be kind to ourselves,
accepting ourselves for who we are
and not what we imagine we ‘should’ be;
therefore allowing us to accept others as they are,
and not as we imagine they ‘should’ be.
In this practice, we begin to understand the necessity of community and inclusivity.
We experience the value of service to others and the joy these actions bring.
The practice of mindfulness is best done with others.
It reminds us of our interdependence and what it is to be human.
When we are kind to others we also help ourselves.”
-Dr. Patricia Rockman
