Cultivate Compassion: A 20 Minute Guided Meditation

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!

I actually felt a little rush of joy and smiled during this and I've been pretty depressed for two weeks. Thank you

My wife is my rock! Continually showing compassion to those around her... I aspire to be like her and thank God to be so lucky to have such a beautiful wife 💕 thank you.

[kalpnasingh]

Thank you very much for such a wonderful meditation, love and compassion comes when your heart is open and loose self and selfishness and see everything is interconnected and you are just a tiny part and you feel total peace and connect with this world, with best wishes and metta.

[erikaalicerosemartinezmaga]

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.
