How to Express Compassion in Troubling Times: Part 2

This is the third in the 4-part series on "Love, Compassion & Co-Dependence."

Shamanic practitioner and teacher Dory Cote addresses questions, including:

• A listener wrote to ask how he might switch from anger or rage to a place of compassion when he is in an automatic response to a fearful situation while driving…For example, like someone cutting him off when he is driving home on the highway and nearly causing a misfortunate incident? Or someone flipping him the finger because another driver did not move out of their travelling lane fast enough? [0:31]

• Building on your answer to the first question, how would you address how a person gets “into their heart “when they are not feeling happy or generous or loving? [5:08]

• You talked about a commitment to a spiritual practice, and making compassion a spiritual practice. Do you have suggestions to make it a habit, to kind of practice a practice—before you are in crisis with it? Kind of like making it brushing your teeth everyday? [7:52]

• Do you think that the expression of compassion on a global basis could stop wars and heal the environment? [11:42]

• This completes our prepared questions. Do you have anything to add at this time? [14:38]
