It is no secret that often the things we are most critical of others is often things we dislike in ourselves.<\/p>\n<p>Research is demonstrating that increasing our mindfulness increases our ability to connect in a deeper way, being more empathetic with others.\u00a0 In fact, research\u00a0 is demonstrating that self-awareness affects brain structure promoting the development of neurological circuits which may be involved in attuning us to the intentions and experiences of others.*\u00a0 This means we become more likely to extend mercy and forgiveness to others as we experience it ourselves.\u00a0 As we become safe within ourselves, it allows us to be safe for others, to connect on a deeper level thereby increasing the opportunity for richer relationships.<\/p>\n<p>______________<br \/>\n* Daniel J.
