Loving Kindness

We’ve been doing some meditation while we have been here with a women named Katie who has studied with Buddhist’s for a very long time.

She talks a lot about emotional states and the “stories” we create in our mind and how they affect us and other people energetically. Meditation becomes a door way to your thoughts and actions, you become the observer.

The mantra for this particular meditation is;
May I be filled with loving kindness,
May I be well
May I be peaceful, … and at ease
May I be happy.

The idea is that you would repeat this at least 3 times for yourself, then someone you admire/love, a neutral person, then someone you have difficulty with. Each time visualizing that person in front of you. Starting with yourself, then systematically sending loving-kindness from person to person in the above order.

Enjoy, S
