What is compassion for me these days?
It is being open to feel the pain of this world, together. I would also add with empathy and patience.
Specially for those less accommodated or cared for than us. I live for that, and at the same time, it can feel heavy on my back and heart sometimes. So I get into this bubble of my own to quiet the noise as a way to find some peace and enjoy music. To not lose hope and go inwards cause it’s fun.
But I notice it can also disconnect me from what it is so called “the reality” or “the real world”. So it gets tricky and make it harder to focus my energy in what is needed.
And what about creativity and imagination? (Sighs).
Sometimes I try to hold space for other people’s stories by carrying their pain and frustrations with me. Then I remember than being open about how I feel is a gift that can invite others to do the same, so we are all free of the weight in our chest and clarity comes, and authenticity shines.
Anytime someone shares their struggles with me it is sooo precious to me that I want to figure out their laberinth. But now I know it is also important to honor my needs first and not doubting when the vibe is off, noticing when I am taking the whole responsibility.
That way I can practice to be present for them by listening and respecting their perspectives and rhythms, but also through analysis and contemplation, and maybe more silence. Then, there might be more room to meet common ground and find helpful solutions. To honor reciprocity.
I personally love sharing my insights and what has been helpful for me in this kind of process. Vulnerability is a gift and a responsibility as well. I am feeling more supported and guided to take actions toward self care, to restablish coherence and expand my capacity to hold space and share my gifts without having to force it.
It does not mean it will work out the same way for everyone but at least I am transparent, spread some hope and follow my callings. And I deeply and highly appreciate all the love and patience of this world while I do it so.
Maybe this is the science
of peace?
La Paz-Ciencia.
