Compassion Training?

Living in the End of the Rainbow Valley with Natureman  has indeed changed my life forever in many ways.  One specifically is Air Time which now includes a monopoly by Public Radio. Oh, I still listen to my favorite music on other stations in the car when I am alone but at home, it's NPR/WPR/MPR( National Public Radio/Wisconsin/Minnesota Public Radio)  It's also now on my donation list at year's end. It really is a public service in educating. It certainly came as no surprise when 'others' saw it as a threat and wanted to defund it ...

Anyhow one never knows what's going to be learned from the unusual array of Public Radio topics especially at Holiday time.

Did you know that you can take a six week course in "Compassion Training?"


WHY?  T0 learn how to be empathetic, kind and compassionate. 

Suffering is the key and how we work to relieve  it. There are factors such as life experiences, stress and social pressure  that affect  our capacity to express compassion.

HOW?  One needs support,  patience, steady care and the proper tools facing things as they are, identify  self criticism and shame dynamics.
WHAT?   Mindfulness.  Meditation ie Yoga , becoming aware 
WHY?  To not avoid the pain in order to improve  personal relationships  and to make a difference  in the world, instead of running away from the suffering..
Health will be affected as well as  happiness and well-being to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression

SO my friends  when do you think we as a society can sign up?
