Compassionate Strength™
In a distracted world, our attention drifts without us noticing.
The Practice of
Compassionate Strength
-
Our attention can naturally drift towards thoughts, emotions, and everyday distractions. Compassionate Strength™ is the practice of noticing when this happens, meeting that moment with kindness and awareness, and gently choosing where to place your attention next. You practise this through three simple return practices: Kind, Kinder, Kindest™. Each return builds compassionate strength.
