Compassion meditation is just what is sounds like. Meditating in order to gain more compassion. Why is this helpful and what can this do for you? Simple, those that have more compassion for others have been shown to be happier, healthier and liked way more than those that are less compassionate. When you show compassion for others you not only are creating a better environment for every one to live in but you are making the world a better place.This in turn gives you great karma. Don't believe in karma, then you can believe in what ever you call it but we all know that what goes around does indeed come around. Some say you can catch more flies with honey than you can with vinegar. What ever you call it compassion is what we need more of in this world. So why wouldn't someone want to train themselves to become a more compassionate person?This meditation technique might sound easy but it is actually complex in nature but easy to do once you get the hang of it. But I will warn you, if you are not looking for positive changes in your life and in yourself do not practice compassion meditation.
