How we can deal with the pain of what is happening in the world and go into compassion

There are so many things happening in this world right now that
make us feel helpless, sad, anxious or completely shut down because
we just can't hear it anymore. All those reactions to the pain and
suffering of others make us contract even more, make us shut down
even more. But what if there was a different way to react, what if
we could allow all those emotions and even feel more loving and
empowered after that. In this episode we explore how our reaction
to pain of others relates to our personal life story and how we can
transform it from empathetic distress to compassion, love and
openness. In the first part I will explain a bit about the how we
deal with the suffering of others and what can change that
reaction. In the second part we will go into a guided meditation to
bring it into practice and retrain our reaction to a more conscious
choice.
