Exercise: Compassion
Balance your strong feelings with inner peace! Then you become supportive and balancing.
How do I experience compassion?
Compassion is a central human force. Here you face the challenge of stepping out of your personality without getting lost. Compassion in joy and sadness makes the soul grow and ripen.
Look for situations in your everyday life in which you can observe compassion. For example, when two people work well together. Or when it is noticed in the neighbourhood that someone needs support. You can also see compassion when children help each other to study.
Try to find out what makes you experience compassion. How do you realize that it is compassion? What mood do you perceive as a result of this impression?
How do you experience yourself when you remember this later? Do you feel your own depths more as a result of this?
Do try this exercise daily for some time. If you practice this observation regularly, it will help you to perceive yourself more consciously and to stay within yourself in emotional situations.
Observing yourself in contact with others
As a second exercise, we suggest observing yourself in contact with others.
Realize what makes you feel compassionate. Are the occasions more happy or sad? How do you feel then? How far can you stay with yourself in these situations?
Can you keep your inner peace and calmly deal with the emerging emotions? And can you let go in good time before you lose yourself too deeply in the proceedings.
