Hey everyone, it's Dora here. I just want to let you know that we've launched a brand new

call and advice podcast called Dear Headspace. Each week the headspace teachers along with

some amazing new friends are answering your questions about relationships, work, life,

mindfulness, and just about everything else. It's so different from anything we've ever

created and we're so excited for you to hear it. Dear Headspace comes out every Tuesday

on the Headspace app and anywhere you listen to podcasts. Thanks for listening.

Hello world, it's me, your host Dora. Welcome to Radio Headspace and to Wednesday. I've had

a few people reach out to me on Instagram with questions about how to be compassionate when

you have conflict with someone. In today's episode I wanted to explore learning how to

be more compassionate towards others. I'll begin with quoting the Dalai Lama who wrote,

try to remember that the enemy is also a human being, just like you. The enemy in this

case is that person that you're experiencing a bit of tension with. By remembering, this

person is just like me. We can begin to soften that judgment and really connect to the shared

human experience. So if it's alright with you, I'd like to guide us through this practice.

Take a moment to think of this person you're in conflict with. And if you aren't experiencing

conflict, you can bring to mind anyone, a loved one, a friend, acquaintance, taking a deep

breath in through the nose and out through the mouth and imagining them in front of you.

And imagining them in front of you. Repeating after me, this person has a body in mind,

just like me. This person has feelings, emotions and thoughts just like me.

This person has, at some times, been sad, angry or hurt, just like me. And this person wishes

to be loved, just like me. Taking another deep breath and then offering them these well wishes,

may you be safe for the future.
