LIVING WITH COMPASSION MEDITATION - MEDITATION SPACE Living in compassion meditation is a practice that cultivates and nurtures compassion in your daily life. It involves developing a mindset of empathy, understanding, and kindness towards yourself and others. Here's a simple guide to help you practice living in compassion meditation: Find a quiet and comfortable space where you can sit or lie down without any distractions. Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths to relax your body and mind. Begin by directing compassion towards yourself. Acknowledge any pain, suffering, or challenges you may be experiencing. Silently repeat affirmations or phrases like, "May I be happy. May I be healthy. May I live with ease." Visualizs yourself surrounded by a warm, loving light. Expand your circle of compassion to include loved ones. Bring to mind someone close to you who may be going through a difficult time. Repeat the same affirmations for them, imagining them surrounded by the same loving light. Gradually extend your compassion to neutral people, such as acquaintances, colleagues, or strangers. Picture them in your mind and offer the same well-wishes: "May you be happy. May you be healthy. May you live with ease." Finally, extend your compassion to difficult people or those you may have conflicts with. This can be challenging but is an essential part of cultivating compassion. Recognise that they too experience pain and suffering. Wish them well in your mind: "May you be happy. May you be healthy. May you live with ease." Take a few moments to bask in the feeling of compassion and loving-kindness that you've generated. Allow it to fill your heart and radiate out into the world. When you're ready, gently bring your awareness back to the present moment. Open your eyes and carry this sense of compassion with you throughout your day. Remember, living in compassion meditation is not limited to the meditation cushion. The goal is to cultivate compassion in your everyday life. Practice being more understanding, kind, and empathetic towards yourself and others. Small acts of kindness and empathy can make a significant difference in the world around you. Regular practice will help deepen your capacity for compassion, promoting inner peace, harmony, and positive connections with others. Meditation is a practise that can really make your life better. A practise that changes and improves your life in ways you might not expect. So we need to do the right things and set up the right conditions if we’re going to change. Let yourself relax and let go.

Unlike our everyday concept of happiness, Eudaimonia is not a state of mind, nor is it simply the experience of joys and pleasures. Moreover, happiness is a subjective concept. ... Eudaimonia, in contrast, is meant as an objective standard of 'happiness,' based on what it means to live a human life well. When taken to the extreme, it can translate into the pursuit of pleasure and simply doing whatever you want that helps you attain this. Aristippus, for example, lived a life in pursuit of pleasure and did anything for the sake of sensual pleasure. With the word Eudaimonia in mind, we’re striving to do justice to our full human potential and to work in some small but key way towards the improvement of our species. Meditation is a practise that can really make your life better. A practise that changes and improves your life in ways you might not expect. So we need to do the right things and set up the right conditions if we’re going to change. Let yourself relax and let go. This podcast offers practice to funding stillness and hopefully Eudaimonia.
