Episode notes
Use Breath To Exchange Suffering For Warmth
- Sit grounded, upright, and relaxed with a soft open gaze to stay connected to your surroundings.
- Use breath awareness to draw in difficult feelings and breathe out warmth, compassion, and healing for others.
Year-End As A Space For Holding Difficulty
- A year-end transition offers an intentional opportunity to both acknowledge suffering and invite spaciousness to accommodate it.
- Recognizing limits and holding openness lets you work with difficulty rather than dissociate from it.
Expand Compassion From Self To World
- Intentionally inhale the pain and suffering you notice, including others' pain, and exhale healing and compassion into the world.
- Gradually expand this exchange from personal to community to global circles.
