Hello!
I found the words of the universal Loving-Kindness
meditation exercise to be similar to words I use in some of my prayers. I chose
Interpersonal Flourishing as an area of focus for growth and development in
partially family. Both my husband and I have parents who are elderly with
health issues that leave them with limited mobility. In addition, siblings who
are having a hard time dealing with the stress in their lives. Doing daily
practices of loving-kindness, witnessing mind and calm-abiding will help me to
respond to their needs while maintaining my own health, happiness and
wholeness.

Michelle,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that the loving-kindness meditation was similar to prayer. I guess that is why it has such a powerful impact. I agree with you that practices such as the meditation and assessment can strengthen us mentally, thereby allowing us to be more useful to others during their times of need.
