Veils

When you are in a situation that does not feel good to you, stop and focus inward. Ask yourself: 'What is this situation mirroring back to me? Do I feel left out? Do I feel lonely? Do I feel scared?' etc.

Find out which emotion resonates with what you are feeling and then turn it into a positive personal mantra specifically targeting that emotion of imbalance, such as 'I am whole. I am always in company (with your inner light, God, your guides, your inner child, etc). I am safe.'etc.

Then look at the situation you are in again through the eyes of that mantra. This exercise helps you see past the self-imposed, skewed reality veil you create and get a less biased view of what is going on around you. You start seeing other people's veils too, which in turn can lead to the expansion of your understanding of others and thus also your level of compassion.
