Description: In this time of great suffering, Dr. Shannon Sims leads a heart-opening Tonglen meditation. This active compassion practice invites the mind, body, and heart into a state of empathy by acknowledging the existence of suffering in the world around us. Rather than seeking to avoid suffering, this meditation allows us to accept its presence as a way to open and soften our hearts.
