In this recording, Shaila Catherine offers detailed instructions in the form of a guided meditation for systematically cultivating sympathetic joy (mudita). The method involves directing attention to beings who occupy a variety of categories, while the meditator reflects on phrases that stimulate an attitude of rejoicing. Mudita is a powerful quality that uproots envy, ends jealously, and overcomes aversion, chronic comparing, and excessive competitiveness.
