Ep 127 ~ Midweek Meditation / Awash in Compassion

Practicing compassion by allowing ourselves to let go of reactions and rest in care about suffering.

"May I learn to care about this/May I meet this with mercy/May I be present to myself/you in this/That I may be filled with compassion"

As we settle in, we may find ourselves moved to deepen concentration with the simple words, "Care, Mercy, Presence, Compassion" over and over, allowing the power of this practice to flush out unhelpful rumination and refresh us for the rest of the day.
