Compassion
InSpiritry Call Us to Compassion -
Opening Our Hearts to Other People's Needs!
What is Compassion?
The word, Compassion, comes from Latin roots meaning with heart and having strong feelings for another.
When you feel Compassion, your heart is open to the perspectives and plights of others.
In the context of InSpiritry, Compassion suggests a lifestyle of living beyond self.
Compaasion becomes the very basis for Greater Good Thinking: Caring about Others!
When you care, you notice, reach out, help, encourage, heal, empower, love, serve.
Compassion inspires you to put into action your personal passions for Whole Living: Self, Spirit, Humanity and Nature.
In the practice of InSpiritry, Compassion takes the form of generosity and kindness.
How can we practice Compassion?
Living with Compassion as part of a life of InSpiritry means opening our hearts to others in the belief that our most sacred task on earth is to take care of one another. We give evidence to our Passion for the Greater Good in our acts of Compassion.
