Lição 1
Master Awareness
In this first lesson we start with mindful awareness, the practice of noticing what’s happening in our mind and body. Thoughts, emotions and physical sensations come and go like visitors. Dandapani’s “mental cave” metaphor helps us understand that we are not stuck in one corner of our mind — with practice we can consciously move our awareness. By guiding awareness away from worry, fear, or self-criticism and toward calm, compassion, or gratitude, we begin to reclaim choice in how we experience our inner world.
Lição 2
Connect With Your Compassionate Self
Within each of us lies a compassionate self — a wise, supportive, and deeply caring presence. By learning to imagine and strengthen this part of ourselves, we build an inner anchor that we can return to whenever life feels overwhelming. In this tool, you will first be guided through a visualisation to embody your compassionate self. Then, through a short writing exercise, you’ll give this part of you a voice, making it something you can return to again and again.
Lição 3
Walk In Others' Shoes
Compassion also grows when we turn toward others. “Walking in someone else’s shoes” means pausing to imagine what another person might be feeling beneath their actions. When we practice this, we interrupt reactivity, reduce judgment, and make space for empathy and acceptance.
Lição 4
Practice Infinite Loving Kindness
Infinite loving-kindness, also known as Metta meditation, is the practice of sending wishes of well-being — first to ourselves, then to loved ones, acquaintances, those we struggle with, and finally to all living beings. This is a beautiful practice that will leave you feeling lighter, more peaceful, and more connected to yourself and others.
Lição 5
Put Compassion Into Action
Compassion is most powerful when it is lived.
This final tool is about embodying compassion in our daily lives — through the way we speak, listen, and respond to others. In this session, you’ll reflect on where kindness is needed most — for yourself and others — and set an intention for one small daily act of compassion. Even the smallest gesture can ripple outward, because hurt people hurt people, but loved people love people.
