Guided reflection: Why is compassion important to you?

- [Instructor] In this first reflection, I'll be asking you a series of questions. Also, feel free to pause the program after any question, to give yourself the space to really reflect on that question. And you can come back whenever you're ready. Why is compassion important to you? Is there a suffering you feel called to heal or transform? What or who do you deeply care about? How have you been the recipient of compassion? Is there a kindness that you've received, that you feel called to pay forward? When or how is your compassion challenged? When do you find it difficult to access compassion? In what way would you like to strengthen or deepen your compassion?
