EPISODE: 004
A meditation designed specifically for those who give so much to others - caregivers.
This guided meditation is especially helpful for anyone in a caretaking role. It’s called Giving and Receiving Compassion with Equanimity.
You could be a professional caregiver or an accidental caregiver - taking care of someone in your circle of love, your family or friend that you’re helping assist.
This meditation from the Mindful Self-Compassion curriculum is helpful to counteract the burnout that people can experience - compassion fatigue - when they are caring for a sick individual.
For this meditation call to mind an individual that you’re caring for.
