Circle of Compassion

Meditations for Caring for the Self and the World

It is a wonderful achievement of the book to disclose so many of the secret bridges between the inner hemisphere of the soul and the outer world of action. The balance Straub recommends is crucial in...our new millennium.

 — John O’Donohue, author Anam Cara

About the Book
Excerpts

Based on Gail Straub’s critically acclaimed book The Rhythm of Compassion: Caring for Self, Connecting with Society, these short meditations are designed to help you learn to find and follow your own unique rhythm of compassion. Circle of Compassion uses the powerful metaphor of the rhythmic nature of breathing to show you how to help yourself while helping others. The series of meditations is an ongoing exercise for getting to the root of healing, developing compassion, and putting compassion into action—to heal ourselves, others, and the world around us.

This is a book of great authenticity, practicality, and heart.

Sharon Salzberg

Author of Loving Kindness: The Revolutionary Art of Happines

Deep as the ocean, penetrating as the wind, purifying as fire, practical as earth. Gail Straub’s book is a gift of spirit. A simple and thorough guide to digging back through the layers of life, it helps deliver the reader to the deep well of compassion that dwells within every human heart. What is found within can then be given back to the larger circle of life as love and service.
