The majority of people I work with are deeply moved by the desire of “may we all be well” with “we” being inclusive of humans, animals, and the planet.  How do we balance our empathy and desire for social and environmental change plus care for the vulnerable with being effectively engaged in our own lives?  All too often we leak emotional energy and suffer over the suffering of others in a way that doesn’t have good for ourselves or anyone else in the equation.  I share a number of thoughts for shifting this equation to have peace with not suffering over the suffering of others while empowering yourself first for self-care and then for aligned contribution.  Join my mailing list to learn more and receive additional free content: https://handsoverheart.com/contact-me/mailing-list/ Want to support my work and be supported by my team of guides?  Check out my Patreon offer: https://www.patreon.com/practicalshamanism Check out my online academy at https://academy.handsoverheart.com/  Sound editing by Kevin Young.  You can reach him at [email protected] DISCLAIMER: The suggestions and information provided here are intended for personal growth and exploration.
