Heart, nice words. Can I have an Apps on this so that I can just use an earphone and do it every morning? I'm forgetful. Whether doing neck yoga exercises or stretching exercises, I always forget most of the steps. I have to write it down, and then look at it every single time I do it. You just reminded me that I was suppose to find an easy simple short mediation apps.
I agree that mediation and deep breathing are very important. Prolonged stress can lead us to dementia. Too much holding in our breaths when stressed or angry or frustrated - is stopping the oxygen to our brain. Inadvertently starving our brain...
Thank you John... I just read this and thought I'd share (meditation in the morning... before 'jumping' out of bed: Loving-kindness Meditation - We open our hearts and expand our love out into the world. The loving-kindness meditation is a classic Buddhist meditation centered around opening the heart and stretching the heart muscle and our ability to give and receive love without conditions. Get into a comfortable seated position. Close your eyes and place your hands on the knees, facing upward. Place an intention into your heart, bringing your awareness into your heart. Take a few deep breaths in and out of the heart center and simply relax. Now repeat these words silently to yourself: • May all beings be happy. • May all beings be free. • May all beings be well. Feel yourself as you sit here. Feel your inner life and wish for yourself: • May I be happy. • May I be free – free from fears, insecurities and doubts. • May I be well. May I be truly, truly well. Now choose someone you love very much. Bring them into your mind's eye and send these loving thoughts to them. • May you be happy. • May you be free. • May you be well. Now bring into your mind's eye someone you might be having grievance with. Perhaps it's someone in your life who knows how to push your buttons. Wish for them: • May you be happy. • May you be free. • May you be well. Know that this person is just another person on their path, working with their own light and darkness. Feel into your bones that you want what's best for this person. Now think of a person who is neutral – someone you have no attachments to. Perhaps it's your children's bus driver, a clerk at the grocery store, or someone you see walking in your neighborhood from time to time. Send to them these loving thoughts: • May you be happy. • May you be free. • May you be well. Feel your heart shining with loving-kindness. Feel the warmth and love radiating from your heart center. Breathe here for a few breaths. Now open your eyes. Stay in this softened state until your are ready to get up and make breakfast.
