In the polyamory community, compersion is the word used to describe celebrating the joy and pleasure of another persons experience, even if it doesn't involve us. Particularly when it involves a metamour or a partner's other partner. This may seen strange in a culture that embraces jealousy and mono-normative relationship structures.
This isn't saying that jealousy is "bad" - all emotions are valid! All human beings experience it, along with envy. Often it is what we do with the information that our emotions give us - do we react in anger or respond with curiosity?
In this episode, Sandra and Justin share about their own experiences with jealousy and compersion, and how it informs their relationships as a spiritual practice.
