Colette chats with Amy about compassion and how it's something we really need in the world today! They discuss:

What is compassion
Compassion vs. empathy
Compassion and the kapha stage of life
Honouring each person's humanity
Compassion vs. Codependency
How Ayurveda promotes compassion
Judgement vs. Compassion
Having compassion in difficult circumstances/relationships
The importance of self-compassion
Breathing into pain/suffering with compassionate curiosity
Being ok with imperfection
Compassion and the gunas
The golden rule

Homework: Colette suggested the 'Saying Hello Project', where you simply say hello, smile, smirk or nod to people on a daily basis to honour their humanity. Try it and report your observations/feelings on the Elements of Ayurveda Podcast Facebook Group.

Amy mentioned the self compassion work by Kristin Neff and you can find her website here.

The Elements of Ayurveda podcast is 1 year old on August 10th!!! To celebrate, Colette is hosting a competition with amazing prizes...to enter and check out all the details on the prizes click here....
