Today’s movement meditation is about what I call the Diaper of Compassion. I’ve maybe wrote about this before, & I think it is worth sharing about again. Also, I realize this has nothing to do with cats, but Jack is just so pretty & ppl like cat photos. When I was first driving my bus, I was working on generating more compassion, and trying to recondition many of the automatic cat hiss responses that happen in my brain. One day, for some reason, I decided to imagine every person I saw while driving my bus as toddlers in diapers. This may not work for you— depending on how you feel about babies... for me, I have a similar response to babies as I do to puppies, kittens, etc. It’s basically “ooooo 😍🤗😍🤗 squeal squeal squeal.” So, I’m watching men in suits walk self importantly across the street, and I’m like, “boop” and then I’m remembering they were a baby once! And all of a sudden I have more kindness, less judgment, more patience, less assumptions. Through this practice, I’ve come to realize how disconnecting my particular brand of social justice warrior-ism can be, how holier-than-thou it can be, how righteous it can be, how reductive it can be, and how exhausting it can be. I’ve honestly fallen away from this practice the past few months, but I’m bringing it back one bus ride at a time!! Maybe today you can try on the Diaper if Compassion? #movementmeditation #diaperofcompassion #compassion #praxis #catsofinstagram #socialjustice
