Relating to others (better) through Meditation...

Do you sometimes have difficulty relating to others?

I know I do at time.

I think we all do at times.

A simple Buddhist "loving kindness" meditation technique can help us relate better to those around us.

Here are some ways of going about it ~

* Relax deeply in a seated position with your spine erect
* Breathe in, drawing "loving kindness" from the universe into yourself
* Breathe out, directing that loving kindness with gratitude a toward particular person or group
* Breathe in more loving kindness
* Breathe out, directing loving kindness with blessings to a person or people you love dearly - to all those who have nurtured and nourished you
* Breathe in...
* Breathe out, directing loving kindness with forgiveness to people who annoy you or obstruct you, who are unkind or dismissive
* Breathe in...
* Breathe out, radiating the prayer - "May all people everywhere be happy"
* Breathe in and give thanks for all the loving kindness you receive
* Repeat as needed!

Any part of this technique can be used in any situation and be a avenue in promoting peace and harmony.

Until next time...

To your Mind, Body & Spirit ~

Many Blessings,
