  3. Listening Listening is an essential skill in healthcare. The quality of how we listen can bring benefit not only to those being listened to, but also to the listener themselves. Listening as a spiritual tool involves participants in deep listening and requires that the listener finds inner peacefulness, so that they can give their full attention, focusing on what the person is saying with an open heart and without judgment.

  5. Competence and compassion are two important aspects of good healthcare • Compassion is a value that is central to all healthcare. • Kindness • Patience • Generosity • Respect and understanding • It is unconditional love. Values in Healthcare, Leeds University for Janki Foundation

  6. Healthcare professionals • We can sympathize and empathize and be caring without being left exhausted. • Showing sympathy towards another person’s suffering is acknowledging their suffering, • “I am sorry that you have broken your arm.” (Recognizing that they are suffering without really engaging at a feeling level.)

  7. Empathy • Literally we share a feeling with someone, we “walk in their shoes”, • “I feel really upset that you are so depressed about losing your job.” • Comforting the person we are empathizing with, but the comfort to them maybe at our expense and leave us feeling drained. • If we identify too closely with them, it can also make it difficult for us to help them.

  8. Inter pathy • An expansion of empathy where we relate to another’s suffering although we may not understand why they are suffering. • This may be because they are from a different culture or because their feelings may seem inappropriate given the situation, but we are curious and we try to understand. • In doing so we reach a point of contact that is therapeutic in itself.

  9. Sympathy Empathy Interpathy • It is more and it is less. • We acknowledge a patient’s illness, we sense how they feel, we try to understand how it affects them, yet with compassion we do not become emotionally involved. • We are engaged yet detached. • We are standing back and looking on with kindness. By showing compassion in this way in the healthcare setting, it allows us to be compassionate without suffering from “compassion fatigue” or “burnout”. • We can do this by developing the skill of compassionate listening.

  10. compassionate listening • Being peaceful • Being attentive • Listening with our heart • Compassionate listening is when, besides being peacful and attentive, we can listen with our hearts, we can feel open, generous and loving. • We are detached emotionally while keeping that spiritual connection. Detachment based on on love and understanding. • It is crucial to stand back from a situation in order to view it objectively and constructively, and therefore be better able to support people.

  11. Skill of compassionate listening • Focus on our own inner stillness • Through practice of breathing or meditation • Expand our awareness to a space of infinite peacefulness • We are each like a point of light and this greater awareness is like and ocean of light. The ocean of light can be a source of peace, calm and compassion, which we can use to replenish ourselves and then direct to our patients. • This feeling or vibration of compassion passes through us rather than coming from us. • This is the key to compassionate listening and will help us from feeling drained.

  12. Compassionate listening • Allows the person to tell their story in their own way and allowing them to feel understood. • It is like listening to a child with attention to their concerns a loving understanding that support them as individuals. • We are not analyzing what the person is saying but just being alongside them.

  13. Compassion is the nonjudgmental and unconditional aspect of love Love is not simply a desire,a passion, an intense feeling for one person or object, but a consciousness, which is simultaneously selfless, and self fulfilling. Love can be for one’s country, for a cherished aim, for truth for justice, for ethics, for people, for nature, for service, and for God. Love flows from truth, that is wisdom. Love based on wisdom is real love, not blind love; and to discover the secrets of of love is to watch the secrets of life unfold.

  14. The basis of real love between people is spiritual. To see another as a spiritual being, a soul, is to see the spiritual reality of the other. To be conscious of that reality is to have spiritual love ; each person, complete within, independent yet totally interconnected, recognizes that state in the other

  15. From Visible to Invisible Power Generosity brings happiness at every stage of its expression We experience joy in forming the intention to be generous We experience joy in the actual act of giving something. And we experience joy in remembering the fact that we have given The BUDDHA

  16. Meditation on Compassion • Sit comfortably and relax. Become aware of your feet on the ground. Feel the connection to the earth. Allow the muscles of your shoulders and neck to relax . . . Allow the tension to dissolve and move down into the ground. • Let the muscle of your arms feel clasm and relaxed . . . Next your legs. . .now your face. • Now focus your attention on your breathing . . . Let it find its own clam rhythm . . . Breathe in peace and breathe out any negative feelings . . . Gently breathe in peacefulness and calm. • Allow your mind to slow down . . . Try to watch your thoughts. . . Do not judge them as good or bad . . . They are just thoughts . . .acknowledge them and let them go . . They are like clouds in the sky that you can watch drifting past. Beyond the clouds is the deep blueness of the sky . . . Feel that deep calm of the blue sky. • Now focus on your inner calm . . . That place that is deep within yourself . . . That is peaceful
