Tapping into empathy can help prepare you to face conflict head-on and diffuse a disagreement before it escalates.

Empathy becomes harder when you are in a situation that makes you impatient or defensive.

Research shows that without empathy, people expect the other person” to have far more extreme views than they actually do.

The feeling of not being in your own body leads to the feeling of ego dissolution, or loss of self, and more connectedness with the universe.

An out-of-body experience can happen spontaneously, possibly when someone is falling asleep or meditating.

YouTube videos that have guided meditation can be a good place to start, Weiler said.
