Shownotes Transcript

This is a compassion guided meditation practice. You breathe in suffering and breathe out compassion. You turn what you think of as poison into medicine. Negative thinking causes us to make poor choices, so by doing this meditation you will be letting go of negativity, opening your heart and developing critical thinking that will lead you to make wise choices. The meditation also helps you deal effectively with difficult people and stressful situations. You will be replacing negativity with compassion and wisdom, which will help heal yourself, each other and the world.
