Small Gladness of Someone Else

11 min

Best for: softening envy and comparison

This joy session guides you into mudita, the classical practice of sympathetic joy, by bringing one ordinary moment of someone else's ease into focus. You'll notice how the nervous system registers another person's small gladness, meet any flicker of comparison without judgement, and let warmth gather in the chest at its own pace. A practice for softening envy, deepening connection, and remembering that another person's light doesn't dim your own.
