May You Be Happy
And a traditional Loving Kindness Meditation
Hello. I’m glad you are here.
I was speaking with a neighbor who has been having a tough time lately. What stuck out to me was that our conversation was not about her difficulties. It was about the people who were helping her. What a difference they were making in her life!
Acts of compassion and generosity demonstrate the power of kindness. Especially during challenging times, when people come together to support each other, we see the best in humanity.
Often we help each other indirectly. So many people are essential to our lives yet we never meet them. This week I introduced myself to Nigel who helps collect the leaves we leave at the curb this time of year in Michigan. It was his first day on the job and he said he was delighted to be working outside. In a world that feels so disconnected, it’s nice to put a name to the people helping.
And lest you forget, you are essential to others too.
Since love is an active practice, sending well wishes silently or aloud is a meaningful beginning to inviting more love into our lives. Practicing the most traditional Loving Kindness Meditation helps us reinforce and remember the connections that are already in place.
The audio meditation below is for everybody this week.
Loving Kindness Meditation
May you be happy. May you be healthy. May you be free from pain. May you live with ease. May you know love.
And may you find magic in the everyday.
