“When you don’t punish or condemn yourself, when you relax more and appreciate your body and mind, you begin to contact the fundamental notion of basic goodness in yourself. So it is extremely important to be willing to open yourself to yourself.”
– from Shambhala: Sacred Path of the Warrior by Chögyam Trungpa
