Compassion<br />
Can Be Trained<br />
With a raised awareness<br />
of our innate instinct<br />
for compassion and the<br />
many dimensions of our lives that<br />
are affected by this significant<br />
quality, we might ask, “How do I<br />
become more compassionate?”<br />
as we ponder the significance of<br />
the reach of our compassionate<br />
gestures in the course of a day.<br />
Scientific evidence points to the<br />
conclusion that, indeed, compassion<br />
can be trained and cultivated.<br />
“It’s kind of like weight training,”<br />
says Helen Weng, the lead author<br />
of a benchmark study revealing<br />
the effectiveness of specific training<br />
to cultivate compassion in adults.<br />
Read about the fascinating results<br />
after just seven hours of training.<br />
While just one type of meditation was<br />
studied, other forms of meditation<br />
could be researched in future studies<br />
and potentially proven as effective.<br />
