This 10-minute guided compassion meditation aims to enhance resilience and shift from empathy to compassion, with scientific backing showing quick 'trait effects' in the brain.

The practice starts with self-compassion and gradually expands to include others, potentially evolving into an open field of awareness.

You are encouraged to reflect on the session, compare it to metta meditation, and apply compassion in daily life.
