Have Empathy

The short meditation encourages us to forget how we feel. Feel empathy instead.

Transcript

Close your eyes and with one hand open and the other closed,

Breathe.

Feel the earth beneath you.

There are six billion others at this moment connected to the same ground,

All with their suffering or ecstasy.

Most people feel like they do what they do for the best reason.

Forget how you feel.

Have empathy.

Your open hand represents the pushing away of the unpleasant.

The closed is a symbol of grasping for the opposite.

Know that both these actions cause suffering.

Breathe instead.

You and six billion others are here.

This is happening.

The space you are in right now,

The sounds that fill your universe.

Love everyone for who they can be as you love yourself.

Look inward to an expanding warmth,

An orange glow of love which envelops the planet.

Breathe.

And now awaken to the great big now.

Thank you..I needed this.

Insightful, though the ending was abrupt. Thank you! 🙏🏻

Like it..empathy is a gateway to being love instead of ego

Thank you. Saw the orange glow

Really put me in the moment and allowed me to put my own selfish needs aside right now. Thanks

Kinda cool actual. In a sci-fi kinda way.

It's a little different and lifts you out of your egocentric thinking.

Great way to start your day if you dont have alot of time.

Love people for what they can be

Got me awake, what more can I ask for 🙏

Great way to connect with Metta at the start of the day and a way to move away from self centred-ness

Short but very effective. I will definitely add to my favorites.
