Reflection - Compassion for Self and Others

This is a companion podcast for this morning's mantra.

Compassion begins within. When we extend kindness to ourselves, it naturally radiates outward, touching everyone around us. Today’s meditation invites us to rest in the heart and allow compassion to flow freely in all directions.

Compassion flows through me. Close your eyes or lower your gaze.

Relax your eyes, relax your ears, relax your jaw, relax
your shoulders down, and bring your attention to your breath.
Allow the events of your day to run through your
mind from when you woke up to this very moment.

learn from this? Now? Think of three things that happened
today that you can be grateful for. Say thank you,

(02:41):
and then let go, releasing the day and all thoughts
that came with it. Calling your energy back to this moment,

(03:05):
bringing your attention to your breath, Breathing in and out
of your nose, Drawing your breath down into your belly
where there are no thoughts at all. See you tomorrow
