Empathetic Joy
Glen Svensson · 78 minutes
Empathetic joy, mudita, as the corrective to the modern obsessive focus on the negative. Glen Svensson turns cognitive fusion on ourselves to explain low self-esteem and the difference between useful regret and useless guilt, and advises praising a behaviour rather than a person. In the guided practice we rejoice in another's good fortune and virtues, then travel the timeline of our life recalling every kindness received. He closes with the four thoughts that turn the mind.
Anger and aversion Death and dying Forgiveness Genuine happiness and wellbeing Guilt and regret Habits and change Self-criticism and shame The four thoughts that turn the mind Compassion (karuna) Empathetic joy (mudita)
