***_Well hello everyone, I hope that everyone is having a
safe and enjoyable Holiday shopping season and traveling. After practicing the
universal Loving Kindness (meditation) exercise, I couldn’t help but to think
about all of the recent shootings that’s been occurring around the world. Maybe
there wouldn’t be any more shooting upon children schools, movie theaters,
hospitals, salons or anywhere at that matter; if we all practice universal
Loving Kindness. The whole world needs to close their eyes, open their hearts,
and for a moment rest into the natural ease of their mind and body, in order to
gain freedom from all suffering. Thus we as human beings can locate and position
sustained health, happiness, and wholeness together and not just as
individuals, because we are not alone in this world where we call home. Yes, I
believe that we all should take this exercise and assessment so that our area
of difficulty and suffering may surface and diminish from whichever infective aspect
of our individual life. What I have discovered about myself is that maybe I’m
not spreading enough love-kindness far enough, where at that point someone else
can than start to spread love-kindness until we reach everyone who is not aware
that they truly need of it. With that said I shall focus on all areas of growth and development, because I’m starting to believe that if
we all take these steps of development, we all shall grow upon a healthier and
safer world. What are some specific activities I can implement to foster
greater wellness? I’m
thinking of meditation through held group gatherings in person, Skype, or anonymous
seminars to foster a greater path to wellness for not only myself, but for us
all.

Lee,excellent point and I can agree with you that more people in this world should practice more loving kindness. I really like how you have learned something about yourself in wanting to practice this meditation more . I have also learned a lot about myself throughout this course and I am really enjoying it! :) jen
ReplyDeleteLee our world could indeed use a little more loving and kindness. The recent events have certainly made everyone express some loving, kindness and sorrow at the same time. The outpouring of loving and kindness that the united states have shown is amazing to the victims of the recent shooting. This exercises makes us think about what is important in life and to make sure that the people you love always know how much they mean to you. Show them that loving kindness to those you love and others as often as you possibly can.
