When we offer mettā to ourselves, we're not trying to transform our experience into unconditional self-love—we're learning to love the parts of ourselves that don't want to love us back. This practice invites us to recognize all our parts because when we can love the fragmented parts of ourselves, we begin to see ourselves as sacred beings, and in knowing ourselves deeply, we come to know Kuan Yin.
An invitation to drop into the body and meet this moment without contention, this talk explores how mindfulness becomes a doorway to recognizing the sacred in everything and an opportunity to learn to be well with what comes and goes because when we can actually meet the moment, that's where our power lies.
