The Second Arrow of Atonement

Once we've removed the second arrow of self blame and open to what's there, there can come a very pure and healing remorse. You have to get that there's some pain in there, or else that warmth of compassion will not spread through your body. And i think of it a lot like in the christian and jewish traditions, the process of atonement,. That once we stop the hatred towards ourselves, we actually very naturally and authentically care and want to reduce harm.
