The Loving Kindness exercise on page 93 is too beautiful to not include in this post.
"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" (Dacher, p.93).
The exercise helped to feel aligned with the myself, the Universe and the life that lives here. After this exercise I felt like a better listener, a welcomed guest to silence, and a more empowered individual. I felt my place in these moments as a listener, as a guide and as a tool to help others find happiness.
On page 115, there was a great point addressed, "What area of my life is ready for growth and development?" (Dacher, p.115). This really made me understand the process more because only when I am ready to move forward in my life in terms of psychological, spiritual or physical development, can I truly succeed. I must want to change and grow in order to reach true health, happiness and wholeness. Personally, I would like to implement change in my spiritual development through nature walks and breathing in the fresh air and acknowledging where I am in those exact moments. I will focus on the here and now, and let everything else drift away.
