Accepting and Celebrating Our Humanity
Living relationships as a spiritual practice requires accepting and celebrating our humanity while witnessing suffering. By allowing ourselves to be affected by specific instances of suffering, we maintain our compassion and connection to others. This practice involves noticing and naming emotions like anger and despair, becoming present with them in our bodies, and not getting trapped in stories of hopelessness. Instead, we can engage in practices of love and service, such as visualizing sending love to those who have suffered or transmuting grief into actions that benefit others.
