@silverskid Well put, silverskid

@silverskid This was a beautiful comment. Thich Nhat Nahn coined the crying baby in the mother's arms phrase during his teachings on mindfulness and anger. It is lovely that you shared it here in relation to Ani Pema's iterations of Rinpoche's teaching. Thank you for your post here. It made my day brighter! <3

@silverskid I really appreciate your phrasing, silverskid. I hadn't thought of paying attention to my emotions as an act of kindness to myself. Thanks.

"be kind to yourself" has all the clues you need for an enlightenment episode. WHO is being kind and WHO is receiving the kindness? ;-)))

Paying open minded attention to your own emotions-- especially those which we berate ourselves for feeling-- is already an act of kindness to ourselves. By just giving space to our fears, resentments, etc., we are holding them in awareness somewhat like a mother holds a crying baby in her arms. Even if the voices within are self-condemning, by letting them be and paying them attention we can discover a deeper layer of kindness that allows the self-condemnation to occur without pushing it away.
