Sending Healing To Others

We all know those moments where we feel helpless in the face of someone else’s suffering. If we could, we would take their pain away in an instant, but oftentimes, that’s just not possible.

This Centered Heart Moment is an opportunity to cultivate compassion, to hold that person in your heart, to witness their suffering and send them healing energy.

As you send your healing energy to others, I am sending it right back to you.
