Love-Kindness- The Reoccurring Theme


Love-Kindness- the reoccurring theme.  This week, the love- kindness exercise required me to focus and repeat a phrase for 10 minutes (Dacher, 2006).”

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.

The exercise was designed to “be quite powerful in expanding my mind and heart (Dacher, 2006).” However, I did not quite get there. I tried this exercise repeatedly. In the end, I found it to be okay, not as great as the others. I think I prefer me exercise with a little mp3 assistance.

After some deep self -reflecting, I determined that I need to focus on my mental health. Lately, I have been a wreck from what I perceive as stress. To work on this issue, I decided to do something that I already love to help me. I love to read. Therefore, I have decided that I will start on a book called “Battlefield of The Mind” by Joyce Meyer (Meyer, 2002). My friend brought me the book today. I have faith that it will make a difference.

  1. Miranda,
    I have not read it but I hear that Battlefield of the Mind is a great read. Joyce Meyer has a way with words and I love to hear her speak. I went to one of her conferences a couple of years ago and was blessed beyond belief. She is always coming up with sayings that hit home. I hope you find peace and comfort in the book.
    Blessings,
    Tennille
