"The deep attending to hard knots of holding is a powerfully compassionate act, a turning toward rejected parts of being. As this newly compassionate observing occurs, the object of observation, the body/self, is transformed, and we move from denial to acceptance, from rejection to inclusion. This is the beginning of metta practice; loving-kindness for the self". Katherine Thanas, (1997 p.45) Hearing the voice in the body in Being Bodies: Buddhist Women on the Paradox of Embodiment.
