Episode notes
Suffering Becomes Shared
- Compassion practice shifts 'my pain' into the shared field of suffering, expanding perspective beyond self-centeredness.
- Tonglen trains us to contact difficult feelings directly and open them into a wider heart-space.
Use Breath To Hold And Release
- Breathe in the 'substance and grit' of suffering and breathe out into cool, spacious openness to balance contact and release.
- Use the breath intentionally to sense form on the in-breath and dissolving space on the out-breath.
Contact The Vulnerable Place
- Scan for where you feel contracted or reactive and breathe into that vulnerability to offer healing attention.
- Emphasize the in-breath when spaced out and the out-breath when overwhelmed to stabilize contact and safety.
