12/23/20 - Bowing to our Blessings Part 2: Caring Comes with a Cost

This week we continue our exploration of generosity and gratitude by directing our attention to the shadow side of opening our hearts to others. This often-ignored topic is extremely important for a skillfully engaged Dharma. Whether you are caring for a family member, supporting a social cause or just lending a kind compassionate ear, using mindfulness to attune to the very process of generosity can decrease or prevent the very real conditions of compassion-stress and compassion-fatigue.
