Balance Your Emotions

Hi Everyone, I hope you are doing well. I am doing good. The world is filled with magic and it is also filled with sadness, with this loving kindness practice you may find a way to cultivate a sense of stability in yourself that allows you to accept sadness and not just cling to joy. Dealing with difficult emotions are hard for all of us and it is easier to focus on joy and happiness. When you do this practice find that good feeling in your heart and try to feel it throughout your body. Then think of a sadness inside you, Don't try to control it or change it. Let both feelings of love and sadness pass through your heart like waves, don't grasp onto one or push the other away. Continue in this way until you feel a calm balance between these feelings. As you go about your day this practice may help us to find balance in the mist of our chaotic, every changing emotions. You may not feel that the first time you practice it, but keep trying and it will come to you.

A Day full of Happiness

Hi Everyone,
I hope you are all doing well. I am doing good. This loving kindness meditation is about one of our most important physical and emotional parts of our body. Our hearts. Your heart is a muscle. It also needs to be exercised. If your life experiences have led you to lock your heart up and throw away the key then your heart is in need of some reviving. In order to do that you may need to practice living from your heart again, rather than your fearful mind. Some people live from the heart, those who do are just naturally trusting and loving and appear to believe in the goodness of the the world. I know that is how I am and I often learn the hard way sometimes. If you live your life on the lookout for danger, you are probably always on guard and ready to protect yourself against any person because you fear them from earlier life experiences, they hurt you when you when you were in a trusting place. So today you can decide if you want your heart to be guided full of love or continue to live in a fearful mind. The bravest thing you could ever do is love. What would it be like to go back to the time you responded from your heart and not your fear filled mind? You may begin to notice the world is full of more allies, than enemies. Opening your heart again, you will feel your world expanding. Although it may be hard for you, for just one day act from your heart. Simply say to yourself throughout the day,
"May I listen to my heart"
"May I respond to the world from a place of love"
"May I know I am safe and protected"
"May I know deep trusting love"
I hope this loving kindness practice inspires you as it has me.
