Your soul holds all the virtues. You may not be able to draw on all of the virtues you have within in every situation, but know that you have all the virtues within you. Let’s now activate a particular virtue here today and allow this meditation to activate the virtue of compassion to support you on your journey here today. Think about ways you can use this virtue in your life, perhaps there is specific situation where you could benefit from this virtue. Allow this virtue to guide you.

Transcript

Love and compassion are two positive feelings that help to make the world a better place.

Dalai Lama quote,

If you want others to be happy,

Practice compassion.

Let's practice compassion in meditation here today.

I invite you to make yourself comfortable.

Close your eyes.

Take in a full deep expansive breath and as you breathe out just let go.

Let go here and now.

And each natural breath you take now,

Allow yourself to let go even more.

Just settle in to relaxation.

I invite you to imagine a glowing golden light entering the crown of your head.

Going all the way down to the soles of your feet.

As this golden light flows through every part of your body,

Every cell in your body,

It shines brightly.

Filling your body with compassion.

Allow this light of compassion to fill you,

To radiate from you,

Right here,

Right now.

Imagine yourself meeting a stranger and on meeting that stranger you radiate this light of compassion to them.

You remind yourself that this stranger has parents and people who love them just like you.

You remind yourself that this stranger has moments of joy just like you.

You remind yourself that this stranger has moments of anguish and suffering just like you.

You remind yourself that this stranger will one day grow old just like you.

You remind yourself that this stranger will go through cycles of illness and recovery just like you.

You remind yourself that this stranger will one day die just like you.

Filled with the light of compassion you will know this stranger is not a stranger anymore but a living soul just like you.

Sit here in this beautiful light of compassion allowing it to radiate from you here now.

Breathe in the light of compassion deeply into your soul.

Breathe out the light of compassion to all people and when you are ready open your eyes.

Breathe in the light of compassion to all people and when you are ready open your eyes.
