This 2,500 year old practice helps us overcome self-dislike and builds proper self-love and self-acceptance. It also helps us act more gently and lovingly toward others and live without fear or hatred of others. This practice improves good relationships and helps heal problem ones. It also teaches compassion, balance in relationships and appreciating others' good fortune.
