Happy Friday dear hearts!  Today I want to share this incredible compassion exercise that one of my dear teachers, Carol Lampman shared in her Integral Breathwork Training.  

This exercise can be done anywhere that people congregate, such as airports, malls, parks, beaches, sporting events, etc.  It should be done on strangers, unobtrusively, from some distance.  Try to do five steps on the same person.  

Step 1: With attention on the person, repeat to yourself:  "Just like me, this person is seeking some happiness for his/her life."

Step 2: With attention on the person, repeat to yourself:  "Just like me, this person is trying to avoid suffering in his/her life."

Step 3:  With attention on the person, repeat to yourself:  "Just like me, this person has known sadness, loneliness and despair."

Step 4:  With attention on the person, repeat to yourself:  "Just like me, this person is seeking to fulfill his/her needs."

Step 5:  With attention on the person, repeat to yourself:  "Just like me, this person is learning about life."  

May this benefit your life and help grow your capacity for compassion.  May we extend compassion to ourselves as well as others.  

May You Sweetly Seek:)
In Gratitude, 
​Sarah
