Seeing Beyond the Surface: Compassion for Others

Thanks for participating in our weekly Sunday 15 minute meditation. This week we explore seeing beyond the surface in our interactions with others. We sit with visualizations for conflict management that allow us to see, hear and feel beyond the surface of the words, emotions and actions of others, so that instead of being triggered into mirroring high-conflict behaviour we can manifest compassion to move past present-moment discord.

Thanks for participating in our weekly Sunday 15 minute meditation. This week we explore anger and the development of self control. We suffer when we react emotionally to everything that is said to us. When others' words & actions control our emotions, we allow them to control us; we surrender our power and agency. When we develop the ability to prioritize a mindful response to external stimuli, we affirm our peace and power.

Thanks for participating in our weekly Sunday 15 minute meditation. This week we are back to where we started in Sept 2025, how to foster inner peace in a turbulent time. Thich Nhat Hanh teaches that other human beings are not our real enemies; our true enemies are the internal forces of ignorance, hatred, anger, fear, discrimination, greed, and violence within ourselves that cause suffering, which then manifest outwardly.

We undertake a breathing meditation to help nourish this inner ease. To watch this meditation, please visit https://youtu.be/nC1pN1zS4pg.

Thanks for participating in our weekly Sunday 15 minute meditation. This week we explore letting go of defensiveness and needing to protect ourselves, and look at how we can approach the world around us with curiosity and wonder, which gives a greater understanding of our true agency. When we're on the defensive, we can only react to the negative stimuli around us with more negativity; when we're ready to appreciate and create, we pave the way for enjoyment and resilience.

Thanks for participating in our weekly Sunday 15 minute meditation. This week we explore setting intentions for the new year. Our topic is authenticity: having an inner and outer experience, mind/body/heart congruence, so that we don't feel like we're checked out of any part of our lives. Authenticity is key to self-compassion and enjoying the little things that make up life.

Greetings meditators, continuing our preparations for the Christmas, Hannukah and holiday season with meditations upon generosity.

Last week we covered ways to be generous with ourselves, and today we explore a generosity practice for others.

Generosity doesn't equal giving STUFF to others, but our loving, full presence without an agenda for control and change.
