Graciousness is the ability to be released from constraints to express and expand all you truly are with certainty and intensity. Graciousness is a concept freeing you from the judgment of self and of others, and more importantly, that opens you to self-acceptance and the blessings you are here to bring. Graciousness is kindness and generosity of spirit where there is no illusion of judgment, and there is an acceptance for an individual just as they are and exactly where they are.

Remember, graciousness begins within the Gracious Shell and extends outward into the world. It is a process that takes time and dedication to build on who you are inside the shell and allow it to influence who you present yourself as in the world. Graciousness is an evolutionary process moving from compassion to graciousness. Compassion, on the other hand, has become the word of choice in our society. Compassion requires judgment: feeling for the other person, walking in the other person’s shoes, or leaning into understanding what another person is going through to decide how you will offer support, love, or understanding. Compassion requires that a person act, whether in feelings, words, actions, or monetarily, based on what they are judging or told to judge, what they may pity, or what they feel is needed for another person. In this instance, compassion disempowers the individual you so desire to help. Since compassion doesn’t necessarily work in the way we intend it to, compassion may cause depression and bring harm to you and to others.
