Don't Push- Just Use the Weight of your own Body

This small book is the second in a series of four, consisting of reflections and practices related to the ‘Sublime Abiding Places for the Heart’-the four brahma-viharas. The vision for the series is to explore these sublime abidings via the somewhat oblique approach of looking at what counters or muddies their activity. This particular book thus investigates karuna through the lens of that kind of anxious helpfulness that feels like we’re never doing enough, as well as other delusions that obstruct the compassionate heart.
