Compassion Release:
"If people have harmed us, that part is usually a protector whose need to cause injury comes from desperate attempts to not feel destroyed by the pain and fear they are carrying. Generally, they are not conscious of this process, but it likely mirrors what has been passed down by the generations in the family. As we offer ourselves to this protector without judgement or agenda the one the protector is sheltering often begins to appear and that is usually the child within the one that hurt us. These are often moments of deep transformation as our people begin to have a felt sense of the pain and fear that drove their beloved parent or (other person) to hurt them. There may have been what we could have called intellectual compassion before, an understanding of how family history has simply flowed downstream. This new arising is different because now, as our people embody the experience of the one who caused them harm, a whole-hearted whole-body compassion arrives that brings a different quality of forgiveness."
