I love the analogy of thoughts being birds in the sky of your mind. Just because there are birds doesn't mean you cant see the sky. Keeping this in mind while meditating fosters a loving yet detached relationship to your thoughts that was very help full in helping me be mind full this morning (a little bit of bird song out side my window made the experience even more pleasant).

altruistic love, compassion, rejoicing, impartiality

[@mindfulnessasia1082]

True compassion must be based on wisdom and knowledge. We must know who others really are and what is best for them eternally. We often give the example of someone who gives money to a homeless person, thinking that they helped them. But if the homeless person just uses the money to buy some drugs, then we have done them no good.

Love the Blue Ocean thinking of growing the pie when it comes to compassion for all & the visual of thought as a bird in the sky. Well done! Loving Kindness Meditation may indeed be the longterm solution for peaceful & satisfying existence for everyone!

Excellent, merci !

Such a clear and relatable talk, and a nice balance between talk and meditation, and between wisdom and scientifically-based understanding. I meditated while listening to this, with Stijn Hüwel's 'Tomodachi' in the background - made for a beautiful experience! (v.v)

Compassion counters anxiety. Once you get it on tap all social anxiety is just a useful problem to solve <3
