I heal myself with gentleness.
Gentleness
toward myself is an act of self-love and the first step toward
compassion for others. Jesus proclaimed that all humans belong to one
spiritual family. His teachings were about gentleness, compassion, and
love among people. I practice gentleness by first noticing my
feelings. If I feel anger, I look for the causes within. I meditate,
pray, or write in a journal. With time and patience, I may discover my
inner child calling for love. I comfort this part of me with utmost
tenderness, as if caressing my soul with the delicate touch of a
feather. As I nurture my inner child, my anger subsides. I am
healed inside and feel at home within myself. Any sense of separation
dissolves; I belong to myself and to humanity.
You who have received the Spirit should restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness.—Galatians 6:1
