Every morning a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, Some momentary awareness comes As an unexpected visitor. Welcome and entertain them all! Even if they re a crowd of sorrows, Who violently sweep your house Empty of its furniture, Still, treat each guest honorably. It may be clearing you out For some new delight. The dark thought, the shame, the malice. Meet them at the door laughing. And invite them in. Be grateful for whoever, comes, Because each has been sent As a guide from beyond
11 Acceptance, Humility, Loving Kindness and Self-Forgiveness Compassion for myself Step 4: Searching Inventory Step 5: Share my wrongs Steps 6 & 7: Remove shortcomings Step 10: Continuing personal inventory Compassion for others Step 8 and 9: making amends Steps 11 & 12: Transformation, Forgiveness and Connection 21 Self-Compassion and Loving Kindness SELF-COMPASSION BREAK This exercise evokes the 3 components of self-compassion: mindfulness, common humanity, and self-kindness. When you notice that you re under stress, see if you can find the stress in your body. Where do you feel it the most? Make gentle contact with the stress as it arises in your body. Then say to yourself: This is a moment of suffering That s mindfulness. Find language that speaks authentically to you, such as: This is stress. This hurts. Ouch! 11
12 Self-Compassion Break Suffering in a part of life - Everybody Hurts That s common humanity. Other options include: Other people feel this way. I m not alone. We all struggle in our lives. Now, put your hands over your heart, feel the warmth of your hands and the gentle touch of your hands on your chest. Ask yourself, What do I need to hear right now? The question and the answer are an expression of self-kindness. Say to yourself: May I be kind to myself Or. May I give myself the compassion that I need May I accept myself as I am May I learn to accept myself as I am May I forgive myself. May I be strong. May I be safe May I be peaceful May we live in peace Loving-Kindness and Self-Compassion Meditation Sit in a comfortable position, reasonably upright and relaxed. Fully or partially close your eyes. Take a few deep breaths to settle into your body and into the present moment. Put your hand on your heart for a moment as a reminder to be kind to yourself. Form an image of yourself sitting down. Note your posture on the chair as if you were seeing yourself from the outside. Now bring your attention inside your body and feel the pulsation and vibration of your body. Locate your breathing where you can feel it most easily. Feel how your breath moves in your body, and when your attention wanders, gently feel the movement of your breath once again. After a few minutes, start to notice physical sensations of stress that you re holding in your body, perhaps in your neck, jaw, belly, or forehead. Also notice if you re holding some difficult emotions, such as worry about the future or uneasiness about the past. Understand that every human body bears stress and worry throughout the day. 12
13 Now offer yourself goodwill because of what you re holding in your body right now. Say the following phrases to yourself, softly and gently: May I be safe. May I be peaceful. May I be kind to myself. May I accept myself as I am. When you notice that your mind has wandered, return to the words or the experience of discomfort in your body or mind. Go slow. If you are ever overwhelmed with emotion, you can always return to your breathing. You can also name the emotion, or find it in the physical body and soften that area. Then, when you re comfortable, return to the phrases. Finally, take a few breaths and just rest sit quietly in your own body. Know that you can return to the phrases anytime you wish. Gently open your eyes.

Look deeply; I arrive in every second To be a bud on a spring branch, To be a tiny bird, with wings till fragile learning to sing in my new nest, To be a caterpillar in the heart of a flower, To be a jewel hiding itself in a stone
16 Please Call Me by My True Names Thich Nhat Hahn I still arrive, in order to laugh and to cry, In order to fear and to hope, The rhythm of my heart is the birth and death Of all that are alive. I am the mayfly metamorphosing on the surface of the river, And I am the bird which, when spring comes, arrives in time to eat the mayfly 31 Please Call Me by My True Names Thich Nhat Hahn I am a frog swimming happily in the clear water of a pond, And I am the grass-snake, who, approaching in silence, feeds itself on the frog. I am the child in Uganda, all skin and bones, My legs as thin as bamboo sticks, And I am the arms merchant, selling deadly weapons to Uganda 32 16
17 Please Call Me by My True Names Thich Nhat Hahn I am the twelve-year-old girl, refugee on a small boat, Who throws herself into the ocean after being raped by a sea pirate, And I am the pirate, my heart not yet capable of seeing and loving. I am a member of the Politburo with plenty of power in my hands, And I am the man who has to pay his debt of blood to my people dying slowly in a forced labor camp. 33 Please Call Me by My True Names Thich Nhat Hahn My joy is like spring, so warm it makes flowers bloom in all walks of life. My pain is like a river of tears, so full it fills all four oceans. Please call me by my true names, So I can hear all my cries and laughs at once, So I can see that my joy and pain are one. Please call me by my true names So I can wake up and so the door of my heart can be left open, The door of compassion
