\\u201cIntegration made visible is kindness and compassion.\\u201d - Dan Siegel, The Mindsight Institute

There is so much packed into this short sentence!

But the message that comes through these words, to me, is that when we are in our integrated state, we are operating at optimal efficiency and well-being.

And from this integrated state flows natural and automatic kindness and compassion.

Therefore, the natural expression of human beings is kindness and compassion.

In today\\u2019s episode, I talk about this in some detail:

And I also talk about how we can use this information in reverse: that is, when we experience someone who is neither kind nor compassionate, we know that they are in a state of dis-integration.

We know they are suffering.

And today, I invite you to respond to these suffering people with the kindness and compassion in your heart, instead of the instinct you might feel to meet unkindness with more unkindness.

I have another invitation for you today!

I\\u2019ve started a facebook group for our podcast community!!! For now, it\\u2019s public as we get people to come in and join us. But in a week or two, I will switch it to private so we can all feel safe and among friends.
