Empathy
Transllation One day on Earth… Empathy is a notion designating a mechanism through which an individual can understand The feelings and emotions of another individual. The ability to identify yourself to another and to feel what he feels His feelings and in particular his suffering and distress An emotion much bigger than beliefs and differences That unables us to enter in the perceptions of another, to feel his fear, his anger , his tenderness To temporarily live his life and to move into it with care and without judgement To look for common points before the differences And there are always more common points than differences The essence , the heart and the soul The human warmth is when you offer yourself without expecting anything in return Simply share so as not to spoil a life And to help those that don’t have that ability And despite all difficulties keep that force , that will give a heart blow to those who need it Just a litle attention And give the right to everyone to exist A feeling much higher than instinct and the food chain A feeling that unables us to take care of another And to share the litle we possess And to help each other to keep warm Or to protect one another Be able to share happiness, tenderness, protection and complicity We all need human warmth We all need affection and to feel at home amongst our brothers Despite appearances without ever relying on the outside look only Without ever minding language Because it is something invisible to the eye but that is not without fragrance Final definition Science has proved that the difference between man and animal was exactly empathy BUT.. BUT… BUT Homicide … Guilt… Iniquity … I am well aware that with this video I invite some to question themselves But to question oneself is to put oneself in command of one’ s life and to realize we Have lost the foundation of humanity Actually speaking of empathy .. between men or between animals ...?

Re: Empathy
Empathy
Author: George Eliot (English novelist) Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible Comfort of feeling safe with a person, Having neither to weight thoughts, Nor measure words--but pouring them All right out--just as they are Chaff and grain together, Certain that a faithful hand will Take and sift them, Keep what is worth keeping, And with the breath of kindness Blow the rest away. love and light to you mudra bou x

Re: Empathy
This is a fantastic lesson to us all, we lock these creatures away for our amusement in zoos etc. They could well be the teachers we are waiting for to show us the way to harmony, empathy and living together as creatures of this earth.
Thankyou Mudra, a simply fantastic find.. |

Re: Empathy
None of us has gotten where we are solely by pulling ourselves up from our own bootstraps. We got here because somebody bent down and helped us.

Re: Empathy
Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.

To be able to practice five things everywhere under heaven constitutes perfect virtue... gravity, generosity of soul, sincerity, earnestness, and kindness.

Re: Empathy
Blessings Beloved All,
Empathy, like all gifts from the soul, is a double edged sword. Just as my smile will be infused into others, so their frown can invade me. So smile often. All Love, |

Re: Empathy
The elephant and the monk: a story of compassion
Once there lived a strong, young elephant named Meruprabh. One day a part of a huge forest caught fire and the fire spread rapidly, fanned by strong winds. The animals were scared. When would the fire stop? Meruprabh along with 700 other elephants cleared one part of the forest of vegetation to prevent the fire from spreading. This clearing became a haven for animals seeking shelter from the fire and they huddled there till the fire went out. Animals who normally hunted each other now sat or stood close in amity. Fear was palpable. Love Always mudra |

Re: Empathy
A true story of two lost dogs as read by author Rose De Dan to her dog, Puma, from her book "Tails of a Healer: Animals, Reiki and Shamanism." The events in this story took place in Worcester, Mass. several years before the author took any formal training in animal communication.
Inspired by the Dalai Lama and his focus on compassionate living, this video lovingly portrays the miracles that can happen when you communicate from your heart. Thanks for watching! Love Always mudra |
