Reawakening Your Compassionate Self
By Francoise Rapp
"To love is the greatest
thing in life; and it is very important to talk about love, to
feel it, to nourish it, to treasure it, otherwise it is soon
dissipated... But the moment you have in your heart this extraordinary
thing called love and feel the depth, the delight, the ecstasy
of it, you will discover that for you the world is transformed."
- Krishnamurti
Life is filled with indefinite
emotional challenges, and for many of us these challenges force
us to protect ourselves and to "be strong" in order
to survive. Yet this so-called strength often comes by way of
ignoring the pain and suffering of others. This denial of our
vulnerability and the refusal to acknowledge the suffering of
those around us is the denial of our most innate, humane and
spiritual emotion: compassion.
|
Dalai Lama once said, "genuine
compassion is based on the rationale that all human beings have
an innate desire to be happy and overcome suffering...[and] on
the basis of this recognition of this equality and commonality,
you develop a sense of affinity and closeness with others."
Clearly it is our own ability to experience grief that ultimately
allows us to understand the pain of others.
But while it is important that
we acknowledge our personal emotional struggles and the struggles
of others, we do not necessarily need to attract challenges in
order to be truly compassionate.
All of us have access to the
compassionate light within each of our souls and from time to
time it is necessary to reconnect with that lost light. |

~ Technique to Reawaken Your
Compassionate Self ~
In order to reawaken your compassionate
self, it is important that you become aware of your feelings.
Take an occasional moment out of your busy schedule to reflect
on your emotions. Find a quiet, peaceful place where you can
center yourself and take some time alone. Sit comfortably, breathe
deeply and allow all emotions to come up to the surface.
Acknowledge your feelings and
honestly reflect on them. Love yourself, your whole personality,
and forgive your mistakes--as mistakes are simply lessons. Think
not from your head but also from your heart, feel and be fully
present.
