Tonglen is a practice in Buddhism that I find really helpful. As a nurse, it comes naturally. We ‘take in’ the suffering and ‘breath out’ the healing — yet — we fail to apply it any place else. Or to expand it when we recognize our own suffering to reach out & connect with all those who suffer as we do. Yin/Yang. Love/Pain — the two sides of the same coin which connect the entire Human experience. And yes, you can pilfer as much of that as you want. ❤
