    Lemmy.ml doesn’t seem to be serving the image of the passage. Here is the passage from Your True Home on Google Books.

    166 A Real Friendship

    IN PRACTICING mindful breathing, we become a real friend to our body, our emotions, our mind, and our perceptions. Only once we’ve developed a real friendship with ourselves can we effect some transformation within these different realms. If we want to reconcile with our family or with friends who have hurt us, we have to take care of ourselves first. If we’re not capable of listening to ourselves, how can we listen to another person? If we don’t know how to recognize our own suffering, it wont be possible to bring peace and harmony into our relationships.
