As we wake up to a reality where we can embody deeper and richer states of our higher essence, we also will also experience the the field around our heart centre becoming more open and vulnerable to the external environment. As our awareness begins shifting and traveling between the mind and the heart, allowing our decisions to be made from a place of heartfelt guidance and release of creative energy, we will also become more sensitive to the suffering of our local and global ecologies. Learning how to transmute the pains of separation and growth without letting ourselves be overwhelmed by them, will come with experience - but a key to escaping the thundering waves lies in our relative ability to extend authentic compassion to our surroundings.

Compassion can be seen as a bridge between our own heart and the multifaceted heart enveloping our own. When we make the connection, we plug into the larger web of inter-being, communicating to our surroundings that we are not a threat to its stability and balance, but rather an enrichment to its wholeness. Like children, the awakened heart longs to give and to share.. This said, not everyone is willing - or able to receive, as one being’s experience of unconditional love may not resonate with another's - and the inner child will experience rejection, causing a natural contraction. Our challenge lies in keeping the heart open despite external pressure, and leaning even more determined into the fear that comes with unfolding our petals..

Engaged compassion is a path to softening the process.. Whether this means cleaning a beach, cooking nourishing food to share, holding space for a stranger in need, providing a child with the right conditions for growth, or giving a nourishing bath to a street-dog, compassion cultivates resilient valves for the heart’s own opening. Just like a camera’s aperture refers to the opening of a lens diaphragm through which light passes, the same can be said of our hearts - the wider the openness of our ethereal diaphragm, the more light we have to work with.. And the less tense you will feel in your chest and upper back..

Compassion - with passion. Passion for wholeness, but more scientifically, of latin: com- (“together”) + pati (“to suffer”); acknowledging the deep wound of suffering in another, and adding your own heart-stream to theirs in order to comfort, soothe and ease the welling up of pain and separation from Nature, from Self, from Mother, from Womb, from Source. Pass.. Pass.. Extend..
