7 CUPS COMPASSION COURSE

Laura October 24th, 2014

To all the members out there, I have created this compassion course for you!Ã

*This course is for members only, not for listeners*

Here are some important resources for you to view:

Three Components of Self-Compassion (Video)

8 Ways to Show Compassion Everyday

And Another 10 Ways to Show Compassion

This course is for you if:

- You want to learn more about how we think about compassion here at 7 Cups

- You LOVE the group support chat rooms and want to continue to grow and thrive in that environment

- You believe in the mission of 7 Cups and want to learn more about how you can show compassion in your experiences here

Wed like all those who complete this course to learn:

- The basics of giving and showing compassion

- Learn how to get the most out of their experiences in the group support chat room

- Learn how to build connection with fellow 7 Cups members

- Be a loving, kind, awesome person, who supports the community

We want you to walk away from this compassion experience, feeling well equipped to be a loving group support chat room participant.

Sending you all hugs! Please give feedback and ideas in this thread!

Note: All responses are read by community managers

These are wonderful resources! I'd like to think we were taught much of this as children, but yet often needed reminded. Thanks for sharing these links @LauraS

Really like the sound of this course @LauraS Think I'll be doing this one, thank you smiley ~ Shona ~

ShonaC November 5th, 2014

@LauraS I just took the test, think about my answers and answering as honestly as I can. I found it helped too. I think this site might help me keep mindful and live compassionately as well as helping me with any bad times and just being with good people. I hope I pass.

Thanks Laura. I believe we should always strive to be compassionate to everyone we meet. We never know what's behind someone's smile. It's especially important here where people come looking for kindness and compassion. Great course!

Natta November 7th, 2014

It really was a great course. It wasn't like the averagequestionnaire type thing- it made me have to think about a lot of things more deeply than I've really touched them before. That's my feedback. I can't even think of anything I'd improve if it were up to me, it pleasantly surprised me that I had to consider things and scenarios rather than just click the right box. I'm now sure I want to be a listener, but I guess I'll have to wait since my mom says I have to get myself back on the saddle before I can start helping others.

I'm glad I'm part of something that truly cares so much about the people it involves. Everyone here is so terrific.

So glad to hear you got something out of the course! And that it was helpful for you! Congrats to you and I hope others will consider taking the course and spending some time thinking about compassion!

ShonaC November 7th, 2014

I agree @Natta, it was the same for me. I found the course very good and it also made me think. Living compassionately and with mindfulness is important to me anyway and I thought the test was very well done. I thought about and answered each senario and question as honestly as I could, not really thinking about passing or anything as I was doing it, just answered the best I could, honestly, how I would handle the examples. Having no experience of being a Listener, I'm very glad to have passed, that humbled me and made me feel good for so many reasons. I just answered from the heart and used my knowledge of various ways compassion is used and seen in life from what I have learned from my Buddhist teachers as well as how I feel compassion in my own heart. Hope that makes sense. Passing this means so much to me. I want to do other tests now, if they are as good as this one, really think they could help me grow as a person and work some stuff out like my anxiety, which would be fantastic. I'm so glad you gained something good from it too and congrats again on passing heart

ShonaC November 7th, 2014

No experience as a 7 Cups Listener that is, but I do make myself available to my friends and loved ones as much as I'm able to help them and to confide in if they want. Love doing that, it's part of what being a friend is and they said I do help and am a good listener. Always willing to improve though, one of the things I now want to gain from being here smiley Just wanted to add that x
