About this episode
Meditation: Calling on Loving Presence -
Often, when we're really struggling, the only way to find compassion for ourselves is by reaching out towards a loving awareness that is great enough to offer comfort and safety to our wounded self.
When we feel held by a caring presence, by something larger than our small frightened self, we begin to find space in our heart for the difficult currents of our life, and for the lives of others. The suffering that might have seemed "too much" can now awaken us to the sweetness of compassion.
