Becoming Mindful of Reactions

Self-Reflection Questions

1. “Am I in the grip of anger or hatred?” (emotional reactivity) 2. “Do I feel morally superior?” (self-righteousness) 3. “Do I want my adversary to suffer?” (hostility) These reactions block our innate capacity to be compassionate.

Dalai Lama

For someone to develop genuine compassion towards others, first he or she must have a basis upon which to cultivate compassion, and that basis is the ability to connect to

  • ne’s own feelings and to

care for one’s own welfare… Caring for others requires caring for oneself.
