Loving Kindness & Compassion For Ukraine

The current war in Ukraine is heartbreaking and seeing the suffering on the news can feel overwhelming. In this meditation, you'll be guided in bringing loving-kindness to suffering. This opens us to a feeling of compassion. After connecting with this feeling of compassion the meditation then moves into a Tonglen practice from the Tibetan tradition where you imagine breathing in the suffering of others as black smoke and then sending a healing white light from your body as you breathe out.

The guidance was excellent. I needed his description of what compassion is because I usually resonate with the suffering and feel it myself. This was a light bulb moment for me. The instruction to switch back to lovingkindness if I slipped out of that peaceful heart space was also important for me to hear. Thank you for that and for the practice for Ukraine which I feel deeply concerned about, and for my friend who is uprooted from Ukraine due to the war.
