1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 Bringing Wholeness to Your Body Meeting Adversity with Compassion &amp;nbsp;from sound shaman Norma Gentile I am considering the need to meet violent adversity in our outer world not with more adversity, but rather with a sense of warm heartedness.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Not the kind of warm heartedness that allows us to be stabbed by the violent adversity, but rather a warm heartedness that allows us to see beyond the violence, see beyond the adversity, and come to a point of compassion in understanding the pain that another might be feeling. &amp;nbsp; I find this is really only possible when I feel whole and content within myself.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The less balanced I feel, the more I am apt to meet someone else’s adversity and violent temper with a pushback energetically of my own. &amp;nbsp; As we move into summer the longer time of daylight is reminding me of how outbound our culture tends to be.&amp;nbsp; As long as there is light and sun, US culture has a sense of go-go-go-go-go throughout the day. &amp;nbsp; And that to me is a big piece of why we are having so much violence in our society. I am speaking here as a US citizen.&amp;nbsp; There is such a great amount of short temperedness because we simply have lost the ability to nourish ourselves in a way that helps us find our own center. &amp;nbsp; Here is a meditation, with a healing song, to do just that.
