I recently read an article about kindness where they mentioned that the currency of the future will not be the Euro, the Dollar or the Yuan, but rather empathy, that ability to relate to each other, to understand what other people's lives are like and to share our story without being judged.
We already know that when we connect with other people from the heart, our happiness increases and we can even transform our lives, but is there a way to make this something that lasts?
It's not so difficult to sit quietly to meditate while we silence our mind and feel a state of relaxation; however, the real challenge is to maintain that stillness, peace and harmony while living in the real world. It is right there when we will realize the true internal work that we have done - or that we still have to do.
There is something beyond the "me, me, me" thinking, and we can come to understand a little better the connection and empathy that we have as human beings through 4 levels of consciousness.
