Thank you for joining me today for this 20 minute guided meditation practice to cultivate compassion for yourself and others.
The definition of compassion according to the Merriam Webster dictionary is the sympathetic consciousness of others' distress together with a desire to alleviate it.
“If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.” ~Dalai Lama
Breathe deeply, connect with the feelings of your heart, and build compassion.
Just like me, everyone is seeking happiness. May we all find the happiness we are seeking.
Just like me, everyone is protecting themselves from suffering. May we all be brave and strong enough to make space for our suffering.
Just like me, everyone has known sadness. May we all experience love and joy to balance the sadness.
Just like me, everyone is doing the best they can. May we all offer compassion to ourselves and others. May we all accept compassion from ourselves and others.
We hope you enjoy!
Headphones recommended for the optimal experience.

Today I choose to practice compassion and self love for myself. Today I choose to let go of all my worries and stop allowing them to control me. Today I CHOOSE how I live and I choose to LOVE ALWAYS. Anyone who is going through this, you are STRONGER than you seem ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I felt compassion given to me in this special season we are celebrating Passover. And i thought that I will be celebrating alone with my husband, but a cousin asked us and invite us to celebrate with their family, so this make us feel full of Joy and Happiness.

Cultivating compassion has guided me to self healing. I was able to forgive myself for the robbing of God's Grace from a spirit, through abortion. Through this compassion of self forgiveness , I was able to name that aborted child.

I feel we struggle to give compassion to others as we struggle to give compassion to self. The best compassion present i had from my supervisor is that he notice the progress I make and very time I struggle with something he points out how much I have improved in 1y and that makes me so grateful and feel a great warmth. thank for this meditation session , May you have peace and love always in your heart

That was beautiful, Sarah, compassion is such a strong feeling and during this meditation the sense of connectedness was also clearly tangible. A sibling of mine is going through tough times right now and being with him in thought and consciousness helps to offer him energy. We are going through tough times collectively, sharing our hearts and minds to support each other is one of the things we can do in meditation.
