In this guided meditation, led by Bodhipaksa we start to realize that every experience is unique and will never happen again, and begin to value our experience – and the present moment – more than ever before.
In practicing self-compassion, we have to learn to accept, rather than react to, difficult experiences, such as painful feelings of sadness or disappointment, or physical sensations of pain.
“Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle. This is true for a person you meet every day—yourself! This guided meditation helps us to empathize with our existential situation as beings doing a difficult thing simply in living a human life.
