True Kindness, a Healing Quality

Celebrating World Kindness Day

 

My religion is kindness - Dalai Lama

 

Kindness is contagious and, as scientific research confirms, it brings the giver, the receiver and even an observer the gifts of health and happiness. Every religion and faith teaches its followers to be kind and even nature has its own way of showing kindness.

 

So what are the elements that make up kindness, where does it spring from, and are we sometimes just too busy to be kind?

 

Speaker: Valériane Bernard was born, lived and studied in Paris. From a young age Valériane foresaw that only genuine personal engagement between people could create a quality of life in the human family. This insight led her to an active spiritual life from the age of 25 committing to peace through meditation and creating tools of awareness to advance the condition of women, promote fair relationships with our environment, resolve workplace disharmony and through interfaith gatherings within the community, broaden cultural understanding.

 

Valériane has made her home in six countries and is fluent in four languages. Currently living near the France-Switzerland border, she continues to build bridges of understanding between cultures as the Brahma Kumaris’ representative to the United Nations in Geneva.
