Close your eyes, take a deep breath, relax and rest for ten minutes. When you are ready repeat the following:
May all individuals gain freedom from suffering
May all individuals find sustained health, happiness and wholeness
May I assist all individuals in gaining freedom from suffering
May I assist all individuals in finding health, happiness and wholeness
These are all admirable ideas and something that I assume most people want to see. At first when reading the exercise I thought it was hoakie, repeating these concepts to myself. After thinking about it and doing the practice I think that as someone who does not spend too much time in the day thinking about helping others (as a result of a lack of time) that it is nice to remind oneself every once and a while that there are others out there that need help. Reminding myself that I can help is something that puts me at ease.

I assume most people would want to see too. Especaily through the hard times.
ReplyDeleteI really think its important to help better someone else's world too. why think about yourself? if you know you can give just a little bit why not do it? you will have a whole new apprecation for another person or even yourself
