Compassion for Ourselves and for Loved Ones. A Guided Meditation

In this guided meditation I gently bring us into our own sense of struggle. When we connect with our own desire for the present moment to be different in some way, we can more easily see it in others. We are then guided into experiencing a loved one in the midst of their struggle, and holding space for the struggle. In that compassionate space, healing in born.  Meditation can be challenging at times. Occasionally we may experience things which surprise as a result.
