 Editor’s note: Empathy is an important aspect of interconnection. Empathy means one has the capacity to experience from within another being’s frame of reference, and the ability to place oneself in another’s position. Although empathy and kindness are often used interchangeably, kindness also involves action. Next time you feel empathy towards another being, reflect on a positive action you might be able to take to manifest that feeling into kindness. –Ameeta |

How to Find the Good in a Nasty Election Cycle
“Of course, you dont need me to tell you that this is a stressful election. According to a Harris poll conducted for the American Psychological Association, 52 percent of American adults say that the presidential election is a very or somewhat significant source of stress. For registered voters, that number is even higher 55 percent of registered Democrats and 59 percent of Republicans. No demographic seems to be spared, with all ages, genders, races, and ethnicities reporting high levels of election stress…This requires more than mindfulness. It calls for heartfulness the courage to stay engaged, with an open heart and a determination to hold onto your faith in what connects us. In this spirit, I offer three strategies for transforming moral distress into moral courage, moral elevation, and compassion.” { read more }
