Practicing Compassion for Others
from Facilitative Healing Center Hosted by Theresa Barry-Greb
Compassion for others is the ability to have sympathy for others as they experience the essential pains of life and a desire to alleviate their suffering. You will learn to feel compassion for others while staying in balance so whatever actions you take to alleviate someone else’s pain does not throw you off balance. This is a healthy way to be of service to other people and still stay in balance. Almost everyday there are times when someone can benefit from you being a little more compassionate toward them. It can be as simple as being a listening and loving presence as he/she shares their stressful story with you, sharing with someone your feelings of compassion for them in this moment, and/or demonstrate a willingness to help others in need. So if you have a challenge feeling compassion for others then look for moments of opportunity this week to consciously give others compassion.
