Loving Kindness Meditation For Empathy

Empathy, the ability to experience another’s emotions as our own, can lead to two reactions, empathic distress or compassion. The lovingkindness practice has been proven to transform empathic distress into compassion--leading to feelings of caring, connection, improved health and prosocial motivation. I believe we all long for deeper connection and unity. Lovingkindness is an excellent place to start. By cultivating compassion within our own hearts, we send ripple effects throughout our world.
