Tolerance and understanding through openness and empathy

• Beech supports those who seek to develop a more compassionate, flexible, and understanding relationship with themselves and with the people around them.
   
• Critical thinking, judgment, and intolerance are widespread patterns in today’s world — often learned early and regarded as acceptable means of disciplining children as they grow up.
   
• When these tendencies​, however, are not balanced by sufficient love, the result is a person who expresses themselves in a consistently overcritical and intolerant way, relating to themselves and others in a judgmental and projecting manner.
  ​
  
• Being easily irritated by the habits of others, being dominated by a very rigid view of life, or being overly sensitive to the criticism of others makes it very difficult to benefit from the lessons of life—all of these are indications for the need of this essence.
  
  

Beech promotes the recognition of the good and the beautiful by accepting that everyone makes mistakes, and the courage to express opposition openly.
