This works. I've been in the presence of several people, who were suffering from things like overwhelming grief, terror of dying, depression, etc... What I do that is different than most people who are not aware of this practice is I don't try to make it better.I simply, as Pema advises, take their suffering into my heart, pen my heart to their pain. I also stay fully present with them. And they inevitably tell me that they feel better, usually within a couple of minutes. They say they feel more calm. I know I do.

The soft spot...big exhale, tears come...
This was so helpful for me in this practice which is so challenging but I feel lighter after the tears and its power. Thank you, Pema.
