Compassion.

When we connect and hold the beautiful feeling in ourselves, we experience the sensations from our open hearts ready to receive and give, that is what I understand about compassion. I believe that every single thought of love and forgiveness, involves a gift for our body, mood and reflects an impact in our relationships. This is a natural radiance!

Nevertheless, we have a shadow, we avoid those feelings and we feel the separation of those beautiful feelings in our inner self. We choose another way such as feelings of greed, hatred, delusion, aggressiveness and violent behavior.

Everybody in our journey goes through these feelings. Transforming our shadow of those feelings begins with ourselves. I can share with you some suggestions that I have been working with, this is a good time to start!

A) Take at least five minutes every day to be in contact with you inner self. Outdoor walking is a great help.

B) Be aware about the impact in your mood, your thoughts, and others as well. You can make a mental Stop sign each time when you insult yourself or others by thinking or acting.

C) Acknowledge yourself when you hold feelings of hope, faith and love to yourself and others. 

Practicing compassion everyday with mindful awareness is an opportunity to plant seeds of love in yourself, family, community, country and world. 

Let's create the change that we want!

Love and joy,
