"Compassion" is a term that is important in Buddhism, and it is a heart that wishes happiness for people and at the same time wishes for the end of suffering. In this meditation that focuses on compassion, the object of compassion is expanded to oneself, people close to oneself, then neutral people, people one does not like, and all living things. Research has shown that the practice of this meditation activates the areas of the brain related to empathy and EQ, increases the amount of gray matter in the brain, and makes people happier. Morning is the start of a new day. At the beginning of the day, direct your heart of compassion towards yourself and everyone you meet today, feel connected to the people around you, and prepare your mind so that you can have a peaceful day.

For many people, it has the effect of promoting relaxation and mental stability. However, the experience of meditation varies depending on each individual's thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations, and in rare cases, physical/mental symptoms may appear during meditation. These symptoms vary from person to person, but may include the following. ① Changes in physical sensations: You may experience changes in physical sensations during meditation. For example, numbness or tingling, muscle stiffness, or a sense of relaxation. Your body may move unconsciously, which is thought to be a release of stress or tension. ② Changes in emotions: You may experience waves of emotions during meditation. Past events and emotions may come to mind, or unexpected changes in emotions may occur. This is because meditation encourages introspection, and anxiety, sadness, etc. may also be expressed. These symptoms are temporary and are usually a safe and natural experience.
