Gentleness is being conscious of your actions and the impact they have on others and your environment. Actions include your spoken word, your thoughts, opinions and aspirations.
At the center of the practice of gentleness is the idea that all of life is connected, and that every action is significant because of the effect it has on creation.
With gentleness as a guide comes the shedding of control, dominance and strategies that employ dread, fear or intimidation.
“I have three precious things which I hold fast and prize. The first is gentleness; the second is frugality; the third is humility, which keeps me from putting myself before others. Be gentle and you can be bold; be frugal and you can be liberal; avoid putting yourself before others and you can become a leader among men.”
