Les 1
The True Meaning Of Compassion
In this lesson we dive into the true meaning of compassion starting at the root of the meaning of the word. We also begin the journey of understanding compassion as something which results from understanding ourselves and others better and not as something to make ourselves do.
Les 2
All Humans Are The Same
In this lesson we continue our journey into a deep understanding of what makes us all the same which is the root of natural compassion. We explore how although what humans do may look different on the outside, the way in which that behaviour is created is the same for all of us.
Les 3
The Illusion Of Separation
In this lesson we explore how each unique set of experiences going through life has created the illusion of separation. Without condoning unpleasant actions, we explore the illusion of choice which helps us to see the psychological innocence of every behaviour.
Les 4
The Power Of Thoughts And Emotions
In this lesson, we delve into the nature of thoughts and emotions and their impact on our behaviour. As we unpick the process by which every single human decision is made, we begin to see more about the universality of the human condition which draws us closer to a place of compassion.
Les 5
The Impact Of Misunderstanding And Misinterpretation
In this lesson, we dive into understanding how our interpretation of other’s behaviour leads to exhaustion and compassion fatigue. We explore how curiosity and deep listening can lead us to a deeper understanding of our fellow humans.
Les 6
Compassion As A Cornerstone Of Self-Care
In this lesson we explore compassion as a key part of our self-care and how it us part of the kindness of the design of humans. We look into the feeling of compassion as being good for our bodies and how the opposite can lead us into a place of stress and overwhelm.
Les 7
Compassion As A Route To Clarity
In this lesson we see how powerful compassion can be in bringing us to a space of increased clarity. We explore how lack of compassion can create a busy mind and how seeing ourselves and others with compassion can move create more space to create and live a life of intention.
Les 8
Moving From Compassion To Self-Compassion
In this lesson we learn that everything that has been said in the course so far about compassion is as true for us as other people. When we recognise that we are always doing the best we can with the thinking which looks true to us in the moment, we can look at ourselves through the lens of compassion more of the time.
Les 9
Choosing Self-Compassion Over Guilt
In this lesson, we explore what happens when we fall into guilt and away from self-compassion. We learn that, rather than being a means to improve, guilt drives us away from our connection to the present moment and our ways to make amends with those we love.
Les 10
Integrating Compassion Into Daily Life
In this final lesson, we will explore how compassion and self-compassion can become part of your everyday life. This will not be from a place of giving you extra things to do such as tools and techniques but rather from a place of curiosity, in the moment practise and experimentation.
