Empathy builds relationship with ourselves and others

Nov 25 aft

Today couldn't do practices as sis family slept in my room. They slept on the bed while I take the mattress on the floor.
At first couldn't sleep cos energy is great. Later slept. Woke up fresh around 4 am but I slept back and woke up around 5 plus.
Did Bhuta Shuddi followed by cat stretch and one cycle of Surya Kriya. Wish I could sat longer after Shambavi in the nice energy but it too late.

Looking forward to Sannidhi pooja today.
Mind is sending messages on possible regrets on Z and P. I ignored them, no more attacking myself. No more going for things that I don't truly value, that can only momentarily fill me.
There is a sense of contentment in me. Its like me at ease in the Cat stretch breathing normally in the pose.

The power of empathy
Empathy allows that meeting between I and Thou to be fully realised. Recognising emotion in others, tuning ourselves in to another person's tots and feelings, listening carefully to the words that are spoken while playing attention to the silences that surround the words, observing facial expressions and body movements, calming the self, learning how to express one own's feelings ..., these empathic actions are the building blocks of friendship, intimacy and love.

Soul
I am ready.
Now on P. Alas I understand her role in my life. No meed to seek approval from anyone. As long as I feel hurt by criticism means I viewed critic as being unloving. Perhaps its not as brother is a good example.
