3 Ways To Improve Your Level Of Compassion

Do you wish you had more compassion?

But you find yourself feeling annoyed at others reactions when you practice compassion?

Well, compassion is not about their reaction; it's about your actions. 

Empathy says I feel you; compassion says I intend to heal you.

Watch this video to deepen your understanding of compassion and experience its endless benefits of joy, reward and love. 

A life without compassion is a life separate from our true meaning. 

Intentional Actions

1. Practice self-compassion- learning to be compassionate with ourselves provides a critical foundation to build your compassion practice. There is no point in trying to fill the well from an empty cup. Start with monitoring your words by watching for self-critical statements like I am not...

2. Loving-kindness meditations- A 2008 Study from Stanford demonstrated even 7 minutes of loving-kindness meditations increases a person's feeling of goodwill and social connection. Don't delay it any longer; start meditating on compassion today!

3. Compassionate circles- Make friends with people driven by a compassionate purpose. That is part of the reason I set up this community to practice compassion together.
