Pema Chodron's Compassion Cards: Teachings for Awakening the Heart in Everyday Life | 
This was my compassion card for yesterday, but I only had opportunity to sit with it today. I feel blessed that this pretty much sums up what I do in my job, but to sit and do this exercise mindfully, using both self- and other- oriented compassion is different, though it needn't be. Reminding myself that it's ok to be a work in progress 🙂
quietlycuriouskate Hey, I use these cards every morning! (Today's is "keep the three inseparable".) 5y
Suet624 This is a lovely practice as long as you don‘t hold on to others‘ suffering. 5y
Bookwomble @kathedron That's a good card, one I struggle with - I struggle with them all to a greater or lesser degree though 😄 My card for today is #14, seeing confusion in the four kayas is unsurpassable shunyata protection - luckily the commentary explains that. I'm a novice 🙂 5y
Bookwomble @Suet624 Yes, I visualise it as a transformational process, not holding on to, but reattuning. 5y
