How relationships help us see where we need to work on
ourselves

Having compassion for ourselves so we can extend kindness to
others

Recognizing the impact of our actions on the world

Freewill versus the karmic seeds that we are born with

Dealing with discomfort instead of seeking out pleasure

Choosing whichever practice feels right to us

Being open to whatever arises during our practice

The subtle transformations that occur throughout our
spiritual journey



“If we’re hard on ourselves, if we don’t have kindness
and compassion for our own selves and our own stuff, we really
can’t be kind for other people. We can pretend to be kind, which
is what most of us do, but real kindness comes from recognizing
that we’re all in this together. We’re all here together in this
world and all of our actions are very powerful.” – Krishna
Das
