How to feel kindness

in General Discussion

Curious about the connection between gratitude and kindness. Why does it feel easier to express kindness to others and ourselves when we feel appreciation? And during times where we have no sense of gratitude that comes naturally, what can we hold on to feel more kindness?

Wow I love this question so much. And I am so grateful that you have asked this! I think that you make a wonderful link between appreciate and kindness. I feel like this is the essence of the Lakshmi energy. When she feels appreciated, she blesses the earth with abundance. And when she feels neglected, the earth turns sour. I think, from a therapy perspective, it's easier to be kind when there is resource and a sense of being seen. My questions is this- what helps you feel more grounded and present? What gives you a sense of resource and relaxing in your body? And when you feel those things, does it allow you to feel more kindness?
