PolyTheism s01e08 Celebrating the Joy of Others (Compersion)
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.
