‘Mindfulness is an act of hospitality, a way of learning to treat ourselves with kindness and care that slowly begins to percolate into the deepest recesses of our being while gradually offering us the possibility of relating to others in the same manner… (The) process simply asks us to entertain the possibility of offering hospitality to ourselves no matter what we are feeling or thinking. This has nothing to do with denial or self-justification for unkind or undesirable actions, but has everything to do with self-compassion when facing the rough, shadowy, difficult, or uncooked aspects of our lives.’
(Santorelli, 2014, p.1)
