Karuṇā
When your mind’s eye truly opens to the wonders of life, the heart becomes your compass.
"Compassion is an action word with no boundaries." ~Prince
It’s no accident that the word compassion encapsulates compass.
A compass needle pivots to magnetically align itself, helping you navigate even when you can’t see the path or comprehend the directional force that’s pulling on you. It comforts you with its innate knowing.
The Sanskrit word Karuṇā is interpreted loosely as compassion - a path for attaining a joyful, present life and divine rebirth.
Leading with compassion inspires you to step out of your comfort zone to be in service of others. Your internal dial is so sensitive that it knows whether you’re on or off course.
The environment you’re immersed in - physically, emotionally, and mentally - can alter your gene expression, changing the very essence of who you are on a molecular level. This insight proves true whether your surroundings are good or bad.
To be kind and gentle with others, you must be willing to offer yourself compassion first.
Negative life experiences readily invite fear to take over your emotional domain; your decisions become dictated by doubt and scarcity. This state profoundly impacts your well-being.
Positive interaction with the world around you sets the stage for clarity and peace, allowing your mind and heart to begin syncing to the rhythmic pulse of Universal flow.
Surrender yourself to moments of silence and solitude so that you can fully embrace ease and serenity in your life. Self-compassion can be soft, nonjudgmental, and relaxed—practice patience. Be grateful. Ask yourself for space and grace. Let go of what no longer serves you.
Your needle will point to True North when you begin to trust your inner wisdom, letting compassion be your guide.
