When our hearts open, we know that we are in fact the world, when we experience the pain of others in our own blood and muscle, we are feeling compassion. It begins as gentle love and acceptance of ourselves, and it extends to include our family and friends, and eventually all beings, those we know and those we do not, as well as all of nature – rocks and raccoons and stars and water.

Ram Dass, Compassion in Action

3

We begin to reflect that, although the suffering of others may not be our fault, it is our responsibility, not in a heavy sense of having the world on our individual shoulders but in a natural way, as if we were all part of the same body; if there is an itch, we scratch it; if one part of it hurts, we try to heal it.

4

When we are motivated by compassion, by acceptance and love of one another, helpingceases to be one person doing something to or for another; it becomes circular; the helper and the helped and the action itself are all part of a seamless whole.

ACEP 2018 4

(Havening Techniques®, by Ron Ruden, PhD)

Cross the arms, putting the right hand on top of left shoulder and the left hand on top of right shoulder.

Gently draw the hands from both shoulders down to the elbows, (both hands at the same time) slowly and repeatedly.

At the same time, hum a tune without words.

19

CALM BREATHING

2-3 breaths can shift you out of “fight-or-flight” mode, into “rest-and-digest”.

1. Take a quick deep breath through your nose.

2. Hold your breath for a couple of seconds. Notice what it feels like.

3. Let your breath out through loose lips, like a deep sigh. Allow your shoulders to fall. Notice the feeling just after exhaling, before you start to inhale.

4. Repeat 2–3 times.

20

Place the right hand on the left upper arm and the left hand on the right upper arm

Alternate the movement of your hands tapping one arm and then the other like the flapping wings of a butterfly

Breathe slowly and deeply observe what is going through your mind and body such as thoughts, images, sounds, odors, feelings, and physical sensations, just like clouds moving through the sky, with no judgment.

21

Sit comfortably with arms crossed, one hand wrapped around the upper arm just above the elbow and middle finger in the little notch above the elbow

Put the other hand underneath the arm holding the side of the body about 4-6 inches below the start of the armpit. Hold for at least one minute.

Switch the holding position with the other hand wrapped around the arm, middle finger in the notch above the elbow, and the other hand under the arm and hold at least one minute.

Switch positions back and forth several times, until you feel a shift and a sense of deep relaxation.

(as taught by Donna Eden – www.LearnEnergyMedicine.com)

With open palm, move hand clockwise over heart chakra in center of chest, repeating 3 times:

“I love and accept myself.”

25

Imagine.

Imagine a rain (arms up to the sky)

Imagine a healing rain that falls on your head (touch head)

That washes your head, also on the inside(touch head)

Washes away your images (touch eyes)

Your sounds (touch ears)

The pain in your heart (touch chest)

The burdens on your shoulders (touch shoulders and sides of arms)

And washes it all to the ground (bend down)

And then… you take a step forward

And another (step forward)

Leaving the burdens behind.

Imagine.

Imagine a rain (arms up to the sky)

Imagine a healing rain that falls on your head (touch head)

That washes your head, also on the inside (touch head)

Your sounds (touch ears)

The pain in your heart (touch chest)

The burdens on your shoulders (touch shoulders and sides of arms)

And washes it all to the ground (bend down)

And then… you take a step forward

And another (step forward)

Leaving the burdens behind

Tapping:

1. Tap on your karate point, or the side of your hand,

using two fingers

2. Now tap on your eyebrows where they meet your

nose, using two fingers

3. Now tap on the bone, at the sides of your eyes

4. Now tap on the bone, under your eyes

13. And your thumb, on top of the side of the nail

14. And now under your collarbone again

Now take a deep breath, hold your breath a second, and breathe out slowly.

Now repeat the full procedure once more (repeat tapping on all points).

two steps away into the future.
