Day 17 | Compassion | Full Moon | Mindfulness with the Moon

This is day seventeen of a 29 day journey where you will learn the fundamentals of mindful meditation while syncing yourself with the cycles of the moon, the gorgeous feminine mass in our solar system. Begin this podcast on the new moon to follow the cycle that is outlined over the next Synodic month: The harmonization of the movement of both the sun and the moon.

In this episode we we explore the second brahmavihārā, compassion (karuṇā). The brahmavihārās are a series of four Buddhist virtues. Compassion literally means to suffer together. It's the feeling that arises when we encounter suffering, and we feel motivation to relieve it. 

We will drop into a 20 minute meditation where you can practice karunā, compassion and feel it in your body, right here, right now.
