Sacred @ Work

There is no lack of research and practice when it comes to the simple and yet complex act of Compassion. Experts have based their entire careers on this exploration and many of us take it for granted and can often be heard saying “just show a little compassion.” But what does that actually mean?  Hillary and Pam share their journeys with compassion and why it’s seemingly much easier to be compassionate with others than it is with ourselves. 

Tools and tips on Compassion included in this episode:

• Finding the connection between self-esteem and self-compassion
• How to take your compassion muscle out for a workout
• Exploring the root of compassion - connection!

When we think of surrender, most of us think of giving up, giving away, of losing something we hold valuable. In this episode Pam and Hillary explore how the opposite is true; surrender can connect you to a source of love, wisdom, and power far greater than you have access to when you believe you are alone. 

In this episode Hillary and Pam will explore: 

• Who are we really being invited to surrender to? 
• Surrender as an act of radical self-love
• Tools and tips on how to:
  • Gently scan the body to notice when you are feeling the need for control 
  • Return to gratitude to centre ourselves
  • Use sacred teachings to anchor a regular practice in surrender
  • Compassionately ask “What if…” when we are struggling with how and when to use surrender to help us resolve our pain and challenges
