For a few minutes, I closed my eyes and eased my mind and
body and repeated phases for ten minutes that elicited an outpouring of good
fortunes, freedom and my support of the elimination of the suffering of the
entire world and its inhabitants. In my mind, I included animals, the earth and
all that she is, and every individual entity I believe exists; a true and
encompassing universal loving-kindness. The assessment process was more
self-centered. I quieted my mind and thought of ways to improve by asking
quality questions of myself and present development in the areas of psychospiritual,
biological, interpersonal and worldly. What area was the source of discomfort
and suffering and what should be my focus?
What I discovered doing the meditation is how
forgiving I could be even to my enemies. I don’t really feel that I have any at
this point in my life due to that forgiving nature I presently enjoy. My service
to others mentally could use some work and focus. I really would like to join a
neighborhood gardening project or serve as a volunteer in some capacity. Farmers
Markets, community health issues, feeding the homeless are a few volunteering opportunity
I would like to invest in soon. Interpersonal development is another focus I will
strive for. My psychospiritual and biological development has been my focus for
years, so it time to share my insights and experience with others and to
received insights and experience for others. This ocean of whole-body energy
can be exchanged and relayed for all to share and be advantaged. To build
courage and remove fears, I will visualize and mediate on the subject described
and many other endeavors I chose to explore. I am building up to sing Karaoke
one day very soon. I purchased a WiiU game console and am eyeing a Sing Along
game that is a Karaoke simulation.
Hector, Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful:) I think it's great that when you were practicing the universal loving kindness you included the earth and animals I believe that is very important. In this world there is really no time to have enemies it only effects us negatively and why give anyone that power over us right?:) I so glad that you feel like you have found forgiveness in meditation. Another thing that really works at least for me is to journal... you don't have to be really specific but general in your journal. If there is something really personal that I don't want anyone to see I write it out in an email form and then just delete it after I have written it and re read it:) I'm really glad to be sharing this journey with you and the others in our class:)
