It is my understanding that we are born with compassion as part of our survival instincts, which means compassion is essential to human relationships and to help humanity. The problem is these days we spend an awful lot of our day in the fight or flight mode, and this blocks our compassion. This is because we are stressed and under pressure for large parts of the day and the brain sees this as a threat. It is difficult for us to be compassionate if our brains are focused on survival.Though compassion is innate it does not always come easily. Here are seven ways to help build your compassion.Books by Karma Yeshe Rabgye:Open Awareness, Open Mind - www.amazon.in/Open-Awareness-Min…=1627806820&sr=8-1The Best Way to Catch a Snake - www.amazon.in/gp/product/B00TEPZ…f_rwt_bibl_vppi_i1Life's Meandering Path -www.amazon.in/gp/product/B00NWU1…f_rwt_bibl_vppi_i3Ripples in the Stream - www.amazon.in/gp/product/B018GXN…f_rwt_bibl_vppi_i4Budh Ka Mukti Marg - www.amazon.in/gp/product/B071V9Y…f_rwt_bibl_vppi_i0If you wou

When we are faced with challenging obstacles, we all cope in different ways, some face them head on, whereas others buckle under the pressure. It's important for us to find ways to build up our emotional strength.What is emotional strength? It’s a type of response when reacting to emotional events in an open and vulnerable way, which allows us to find ways of dealing with the emotion and not getting all tangled up in it. Do you have emotional strength?Books by Karma Yeshe Rabgye:Open Awareness, Open Mind - www.amazon.in/Open-Awareness-Min…=1627806820&sr=8-1The Best Way to Catch a Snake - www.amazon.in/gp/product/B00TEPZ…f_rwt_bibl_vppi_i1Life's Meandering Path -www.amazon.in/gp/product/B00NWU1…f_rwt_bibl_vppi_i3Ripples in the Stream - www.amazon.in/gp/product/B018GXN…f_rwt_bibl_vppi_i4Budh Ka Mukti Marg - www.amazon.in/gp/product/B071V9Y…f_rwt_bibl_vppi_i0If you would like to support Yeshe Rabgye's work please visit www.patreon.com/buddhismguideWebsite - yesherabgye.com/Facebook - www.facebook.com/karmaye

The more we get caught up in negative patterns of behaviour and mental states, the more they become engrained. This means they become stored in our subconscious, and we act in certain ways without consciously thinking and we become overwhelmed by our mental states, such as anger, jealousy, pride, without noticing it. We can start to change by following the process I have called ‘Eliminate what is holding you back.’ This consists of seven steps, which are realisation, study, conviction, determination, action, effort, and time.

During the pandemic, wouldn’t it be wonderful if we had something that will improve our sleep, digestion, immune and respiratory functions, while reducing our blood pressure, fear, and anxiety? The good news is there is something and it is called ‘breathworks.’ By learning to direct your attention to your breath, you can condition yourself to shift out of the fight or flight mode and into the rest and digest mode. So, from stress and anxiety and into calm and relaxation.Try my free guided meditation course on compassionhttps://round.glass/yesherabgyeBooks by Karma Yeshe Rabgye:Open Awareness, Open Mind - https://www.amazon.in/Open-Awareness-Mind-practice-meditation/dp/9383296488/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=yeshe+rabgye&qid=1627806820&sr=8-1The Best Way to Catch a Snake - https://www.amazon.in/gp/product/B00TEPZ6G0/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i1Life's Meandering Path - https://www.amazon.in/gp/product/B00NWU13R4/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i3Ripples in the Stream - https://www.amazon.in/gp/product

We human beings tend to focus on what we want or what we don’t want, but very rarely take time to appreciate what we have. Conscious gratitude is a simple way for us to count our blessings, build relationships and help strengthen our mental and physical wellbeing.Gratitude is an attitude. Gratitude is a choice. And gratitude is a habit. When we consciously practice being grateful for what we have we begin to strengthen our mental wellbeing.Try my free guided meditation course on compassionhttps://round.glass/yesherabgyeBooks by Karma Yeshe Rabgye:Open Awareness, Open Mind - https://www.amazon.in/Open-Awareness-Mind-practice-meditation/dp/9383296488/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=yeshe+rabgye&qid=1627806820&sr=8-1The Best Way to Catch a Snake - https://www.amazon.in/gp/product/B00TEPZ6G0/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i1Life's Meandering Path - https://www.amazon.in/gp/product/B00NWU13R4/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i3Ripples in the Stream - https://www.amazon.in/gp/product/B018GXNJU0/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_b

Lust is the strong, passionate desire for something, and not only sex, but also, food, drink, money, fame, power, knowledge and so on. It is a biological impulse without which you would not have been born in the first place. Our purpose in life is to survive, that is how our brains are wired. So, seeing lust as something bad is not helpful. I believe what is important is how you act upon your lust.Try my free guided meditation course on compassionhttps://round.glass/yesherabgyeBooks by Karma Yeshe Rabgye:Open Awareness, Open Mind - https://www.amazon.in/Open-Awareness-Mind-practice-meditation/dp/9383296488/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=yeshe+rabgye&qid=1627806820&sr=8-1The Best Way to Catch a Snake - https://www.amazon.in/gp/product/B00TEPZ6G0/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i1Life's Meandering Path - https://www.amazon.in/gp/product/B00NWU13R4/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i3Ripples in the Stream - https://www.amazon.in/gp/product/B018GXNJU0/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i4Budh Ka Mukti Marg - https://www

Nature gives our brains time to reset from the hectic pace of modern life and gives our mental health a well-deserved boost. Being outdoors can reduce your stress levels, help fight anxiety and depression, boost your mood, improve your immune function, provide relaxation and rehabilitation, and of course, give us the exercise we all need. Forest therapy is one way of getting our mental health hit. It has been scientifically proven that trees have many healing properties.Try my free guided meditation course on compassionhttps://round.glass/yesherabgyeBooks by Karma Yeshe Rabgye:Open Awareness, Open Mind - https://www.amazon.in/Open-Awareness-Mind-practice-meditation/dp/9383296488/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=yeshe+rabgye&qid=1627806820&sr=8-1The Best Way to Catch a Snake - https://www.amazon.in/gp/product/B00TEPZ6G0/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i1Life's Meandering Path - https://www.amazon.in/gp/product/B00NWU13R4/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i3Ripples in the Stream - https://www.amazon.in/gp/product

What we usually do is try to fight against our strong emotions, suppress them or get totally tangled up in them. None of these are going to be helpful. The more we fight against the emotion, the stronger it becomes. Acting this way, we will eventually make the emotion into our enemy. But emotions are not our enemies, they are our teachers. They don’t just suddenly appear for no reason. They come to inform us that something is happening, and we need to deal with it.My latest book 'Open Awareness, Open Mind' is available now on Amazon and Kindle - amzn.to/35uboLqIf you have any questions for Yeshe about this podcast, Buddhism, meditation or mindfulness you can contact him on the Facebook page below:www.facebook.com/karmayesherabgyeIf you would like to support Yeshe Rabgye's work please visit www.patreon.com/buddhismguideFollow Buddhism Guide by Yeshe Rabgye:Website - www.yesherabgye.comFacebook - www.facebook.com/karmayesherabgye/Instagram – www.instagram.com/yeshe_rabgyeTwitter – www.twitter.com/BuddhismGuide

Karma isn't some magical or mystical thing handed out by some higher being. It is simply patterns of behaviour. In this podcast, Yeshe Rabgye explains that karma is totally in our hands, so if we want to change our lives, we have to change our behaviour. We can do this by using the acronym AWARE (Attention, Why, Assess, Reality, Examine).My latest book 'Open Awareness, Open Mind' is available now on Amazon and Kindle - amzn.to/35uboLqIf you have any questions for Yeshe about this podcast, Buddhism, meditation or mindfulness you can contact him on the Facebook page below:www.facebook.com/thebuddhismguideIf you would like to support future episodes please visit www.patreon.com/buddhismguideFollow Buddhism Guide:Website - www.buddhismguide.orgFacebook - www.facebook.com/thebuddhismguide/Instagram – www.instagram.com/buddhism_guide/Twitter – www.twitter.com/BuddhismGuide Support my work on Patreon See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In Buddhism, one of the most difficult teachings for people to understand is anatman or non-self. The doctrine states that in humans there is no permanent entity that can be called a self or a soul. This denial of “any Soul or Self” is what distinguishes Buddhism from other major religions, such as Christianity and Hinduism, and gives Buddhism its uniqueness. This sense of being a permanent, solid, autonomous self is an illusion. The problem is this illusion is so ingrained into our ordinary experience. We have a sense of a permanent, individual self, but that is all it is, a sense, a feeling.My latest book 'Open Awareness, Open Mind' is available now on Amazon and Kindle - amzn.to/35uboLqIf you have any questions for Yeshe about this podcast, Buddhism, meditation or mindfulness you can contact him on the Facebook page below:www.facebook.com/thebuddhismguideIf you would like to support future episodes please visit www.patreon.com/buddhismguideFollow Buddhism Guide:Website - www.buddhismguide.orgFacebook - www

The fourth immeasurable is open-hearted joy. What we are appreciating is the happiness someone else is experiencing. With this quality we feel real joy at their happiness. This practice is the perfect antidote for envy and it deals a killer blow to jealousy and pride.Happiness is fleeting, so to begrudge what little joy people can find in their lives is a very unkind quality. What we need to do is rejoice when happiness comes another’s way.My latest book 'Open Awareness, Open Mind' is available now on Amazon and Kindle - amzn.to/35uboLqIf you have any questions for Yeshe about this podcast, Buddhism, meditation or mindfulness you can contact him on the Facebook page below:www.facebook.com/thebuddhismguideIf you would like to support future episodes please visit www.patreon.com/buddhismguideFollow Buddhism Guide:Website - www.buddhismguide.orgFacebook - www.facebook.com/thebuddhismguide/Instagram – www.instagram.com/buddhism_guide/Twitter – www.twitter.com/BuddhismGuide Support my work on Patreon See acast.com

Compassion is the third of the four immeasurables and it is an understanding that the world is full of suffering, and a heartfelt wish that this suffering will come to an end or at least lessen—for ourselves and others.Through compassion, the fact that everyone is suffering remains vivid in our minds. Everyone is suffering, so everyone deserves it. Keep in mind that compassion is for the person and not their behaviour. If we think like this, we will be able to cultivate compassion for all human beings.My latest book 'Open Awareness, Open Mind' is available now on Amazon and Kindle - amzn.to/35uboLqIf you have any questions for Yeshe about this podcast, Buddhism, meditation or mindfulness you can contact him on the Facebook page below:www.facebook.com/thebuddhismguideIf you would like to support future episodes please visit www.patreon.com/buddhismguideFollow Buddhism Guide:Website - www.buddhismguide.orgFacebook - www.facebook.com/thebuddhismguide/Instagram – www.instagram.com/buddhism_guide/Twitter – www.twi

The second of the four immeasurables is kind-heartedness. This is not about how we feel, but about how we relate to these feelings. It invites us to drop our habitual patterns of reactivity and to free ourselves from emotional habits which serve neither ourselves nor anyone else.Sometimes our goodwill only covers people that are useful, pleasing or amusing to us. This is not how we should divide groups of people; we have to see people through the eyes of kindness. We must open our hearts to everyone. Not every thought radiates kindness to others, so how can we cultivate kind-heartedness? A great place to start is by listening to this podcast and doing the meditation.My latest book 'Open Awareness, Open Mind' is available now on Amazon and Kindle - amzn.to/35uboLqIf you have any questions for Yeshe about this podcast, Buddhism, meditation or mindfulness you can contact him on the Facebook page below:www.facebook.com/thebuddhismguideIf you would like to support future episodes please visit www.patreon.com/buddh
