We can’t have mindfulness, we can’t be fully open and be open to what’s here, particularly if what is here is difficult, if we don’t have the safety or support that compassion creates.
And we can’t respond to our suffering or another person’s suffering with compassion if we are unaware of the suffering that is there to begin with.
So mindfulness and compassion really hold and support each other, they really go hand in hand.
– Megan Prager
