the mindful empath

This is the final episode of 2019! Today we finish up our 4 week series on Advent. In this conclusion we wrap everything together with emergence. In emergence we find a framework of evolution and change that helps us understand what this time of the year is all about. And, as always, we discuss how empathy can be a powerful catalyst for this emergence. 

"The power of empathy is not just evident in a changed and more noble interior life…it is in the revolution of love and care that will inevitably emerge from it."

In what direction do we change? Does that seem like an odd question? Have you ever considered that we really just circle back to the same challenges in order to learn old lessons in new ways? I think you're right...and I also think that our intrinsic power of empathy can be the catalyst we need to enact change in our lives. This week we talk about this season of Advent...through the lens of Spiral Dynamics. Enjoy!

HeartCraft is an exploration of empathy through the arts. In every episode we will use music, poetry, prose, or audio drama to uncover deeper truths about empathy and connection. In this first episode I share a cover of the Brandi Carlile song, If There Was No You.

when I see myself I’m seeing you too

as long as I remember and I'm feeling like I knew

that my jokes aren't funny the truth isn't true

if there was no you

if you were my boat in the deep blue sea

I probably sink you down

I know I should have thanked you for carrying me

but for you I will happily drown

All along your way the darkest night the longest day

I know what to say to make you laugh

and nothing you could do

could make me turn my back on you

when you're looking for a

fight I'm your man

when you need a friend

you got my hand

And what I really mean what I'm trying hard to say

is that I'm counting on you and you got me too

my secrets aren't safe I'm singing out of tune

if there was no you

if there was no you

All along your way darkest night the longest day

I know what to say to make you laugh

and nothing you could do

could make me turn my back on you

when you're looking for a

fight I'm your man

when you need a friend

you got my hand

when you need a friend

you got my hand you got my hand

Empathy is not just a way to relate to people, but a form and avenue to knowledge. It is IMPOSSIBLE to fully commit yourself to a life of empathy and not be changed by what you learn. In this episode we discuss this with the help of work of Harper Lee and the words of Socrates.

This is a new type of Empathy & episode...every once in a while I plan on sharing poems, songs, excerpts from books and authors that have been instrumental in my knowledge of empathy and spirit. I hope you enjoy this brief riff on an author whom I adore.

I have grown to love the work of John O'Donohue. He was an author, poet, priest, and keeper of Celtic Spirituality. His book Anam Cara has been fundamental to my understanding of how empathy interacts with the divine. In this episode I contemplate this beautiful prayer from his book To Bless The Space Between Us, "May I live this day compassionate of heart, clear in word, gracious in awareness, courageous in thought, generous in love."

Empathy & offers up a new type of episode for your morning commute! Grab your coffee or tea and get on your way with the help from a meditation and mantra on the theme of Moving Forward. The fear and anxiety that we all face in the changing landscape of the road ahead can seem scary, but if we move forward in confidence, and towards wholeness and empathy, we will find the journey is worth it.

I hope you enjoy this short meditation and mantra to start your day.

Peace!
