How can we stay connected with ourselves -- feeling the warmth of our hearts and the strength of our inner core -- when we are communicating with other people, especially people we care about deeply? 

In episode 9, Diana and Sheira guide us to moments of safe and empowered inner space. When we learn how to "hang out" with ourselves, we discover inner resources that make healthy, sustainable relationships possible. We tap into our energetic and psychological capacities, making room for our own suffering instead of projecting it onto others. That is when true compassion opens up for us -- and the other person.
