“Loving Kindness”

Hello Everyone:
            This mediation exercise was very interesting to me.  I did have a hard time staying focused the first few times I tried it, but it was easier each time I tried.  I liked the idea of sending out loving kindness to those that you love, but I had to try really hard for those I count as my enemies.  Forgiveness is still new to me and I’m trying to break the habit of not sending out the “I wish you bad luck” to those that hurt me.  But I’m working on it…I’m getting better, I promise!

Loving Kindness to All---I really mean IT!

  1. Darlene,
    I agree with you-it is easy to send out loving kindess to those who you care about. It is difficult for me as well to do the same for enemies or also strangers. I think that is probably an area that many people need to work on; I hope I can continue to improve in this area in the future. Thanks for sharing!

  2. Hello Darlene,
    I think this is a practice that all of us can use. I know I can. It is hard to forgive and to wish good things upon those that have hurt us. Even though I feel it is hard to forgive I believe that forgiving others is a way to heal ourselves. I wish you the best.
