Compassionate

Mindfulness, as Jon Kabat-Zinn teaches, is awareness that arises through paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment, without judgment. It’s a state of consciousness that helps us move beyond habitual thoughts and actions, offering a powerful path for self-study and transformation.

Our bodies store emotional experiences and memories the thinking mind can’t always access.

By listening to your body — through movement, gesture, voice, tension, and impulse —

you tap into a deeper wisdom and open a path to embodied healing.

Alongside this awareness, compassion is essential. Compassion is a tangible expression of love for those who suffer — including yourself. In this space, all parts of you — even those you’ve rejected — are met with kindness, curiosity, and care.

Awareness creates choice.

Practice builds capacity.

— Amanda Blake
