She also explains how she quietly practices tonglen, a Tibetan Buddhist compassion meditation, during difficult conversations, and why compassion fatigue might actually be something else entirely.Together, they explore the science behind compassionate care, the role of meditation in healing, and how even a few mindful breaths can change what we say next.Episode 232: Should I Meditate With My Doctor?If you’d like to practice with others and bring these ideas into your life, join our weekly meditation community with Scott.🙏 Help us stay ad-free📲 Follow us on socials
