And it\u2019s for those who understand that to deepen in compassion we need to open our hearts and face the suffering inside ourselves and in the world around us, because when we face suffering with an open heart, we find momentary pain but we also find the doorway to lasting fulfillment and freedom.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Meditation is a practice where an individual uses a technique \u2013 such as mindfulness, or focusing the mind on a particular&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3349,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.9 -
