Pdf Heartwork: The Path of SelfCompassion-9 Practices for Opening the Heart By Radhule Weininger
Nine simple mindfulness practices anyone can use to generate compassion--toward oneself, others, and the world--and to live from that place of intelligent kindness in the face of life's difficulties. Compassion is the urge to understand and alleviate the suffering of another being. And if that being happens to be you, then the technique called self-compassion can be the greatest of blessings—for the compassion you learn to apply to yourself naturally extends to all the other people in your life. With the nine simple mindfulness practices she presents here, Radhule Weininger provides a stepby-step course in self-compassion. Using stories drawn from her own life and those of others she shows that, with the right intention and practice, we can all deepen our capacity to respond skillfully to our own suffering and thus to that of others and our world.

In this powerful and beautiful book, Radhule Weininger will help you find the
courage, pathways, and clarity needed to embrace this life with love.” —Tara Brach, PhD, author of Radical Acceptance and True Refuge “In her practice as a psychotherapist and mindfulness meditation teacher, Radhule Weininger guides her patients along the path of personal transformation through the practice of compassion and self-compassion. From the experience of that work comes Heartwork, a book that weaves together Weininger’s work and personal journey, wisdom teachings and hands-on exercises. Conveyed through prose that is accessible to readers from a range of spiritual traditions and backgrounds, Weininger presents her insights on the methods she has found useful for identifying the roots of the issues we are all grappling with, as a first step toward addressing them through practice and perseverance. Shining through every chapter is the author’s desire to help reduce the suffering that is the common thread connecting humanity.” —Victor Chan, coauthor of Wisdom of Forgiveness and Wisdom of Compassion with His Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai Lama “Radhule Weininger offers a tremendous gift in her book, Heartwork, which weaves together the beauty of art, the wisdom of reflection, and the effectiveness of years of practical clinical application. The wealth of ideas and practices presented in this illuminating work will be of benefit and will help transform our individual and collective lives.” —Shauna Shapiro, PhD, professor at Santa Clara University and author of The Art and Science of Mindfulness and Mindful Discipline “In its clear, inviting, and practical way, this book can change your life. Drawing on her years of combining mindfulness with the expansive power of compassion, Radhule Weininger brings us practices that serve to free us from fear, despair, self-hate, and other oppressive mind-states. Her three-part book begins with the rare, poignant journey that led her to these discoveries, and then, after their various forms are carefully set forth, concludes with nine real-life stories of how different people have put them to use. Heartwork helps me to be more present in each moment, more mindful of each encounter. I am especially grateful for the importance given to intention and motive in shaping what we accomplish and whom we become.” —Joanna Macy, author of Coming Back to Life “This book is brimming with compassion! It’s filled with countless practical exercises, heartfelt stories, and wise guidance for living with an open heart. Radhule beautifully guides us on a journey home to ourselves.” —Diana Winston, Director of Mindfulness Education at UCLA’s Mindful Awareness Research Center and coauthor of Fully Present: The Science, Art, and Practice of Mindfulness.

By Connie L Glazer This very engaging book teaches us how to use specific meditation practices to open our hearts and ease our specific types of suffering. Meditations including basic mindfulness practice, self-compassion, compassion for others, and forgiveness are all addressed in a step-by-step instruction on creating your own meditations with intention. She teaches us how to "write" our own practical meditations with compassion for our own personal trauma and experiences. The practices create a healing of the heart that has changed my perspective on myself, the people in my life, and the way I experience the world. Radhule is warm and engaging as she tells her story of her childhood traumas after being placed in an orphanage as in infant and then growing up in post-war Germany with her Catholic family. Her story draws us in telling how she stumbled into a monastery in Shri Lanka where she first learned about meditation, her journey discovering Buddhism and how it shaped her life today as a clinical psychologist and meditation teacher. She is raw and honest, unafraid to expose her
deepest self with the reader. The stories along the way, as well as a section with 9 personal stories, prove to be examples of how people not only ended their suffering but enriched their lives and relationships giving us hope and courage to practice the meditations in our own lives. Thoroughly understandable and enjoyable reading. This is a book I will go back to over and over whenever my heart needs healing from what is disturbing me. 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Heartwork is an appropriate name for this wonderful book by Radhule Weininger By Juliet RohdeBrown, Ph.D., Pacifica Graduate Insitute Heartwork is an appropriate name for this wonderful book by Radhule Weininger, as she walks her talk in regard to compassion. It is not by accident that she has developed quite a following, as she humbly and generously gives of her heart to her meditation groups and others.. This book maps out her own entry into the path of compassion practice, offers practices for others to try for themselves, and shares brief stories and glimpses of how she works in her psychotherapy practice. I particularly resonate with how she speaks of the process of compassion and forgiveness as occurring in a spiral-like manner rather than in unrealistic linear terms. She has made this book accessible to general readers who may be new to compassion practice and to seasoned meditators alike. 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. A book with a heart By Philip Black Radhule has taken the compassion and care she has shown to thousands that have attended her many meditation sessions and retreats and presented her thoughts in an easy to read yet compelling book. Following in the path of her own mentors such as Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach, Radhule brings a focus on the heart and self-compassion to mindfullness practice. She provides the reader with simple tools to deal with many of the various different difficulties we may all face in our lives, providing some peace and respite in the midst of suffering and chaos that we all face from time-to-time. This is a practical book that can help the reader navigate through life's challenges, yet is a book with a big heart all of its own. A very recommended read. See all 14 customer reviews...
