• Take a few #moments to go inside and quiet your #mind. Find that still place within yourself and #rest there for a while. • Now think, who are the #people and/or #animals from your past and present that you have loved? You can go all the way back to your #childhood, to #parents, grandparents, nannies, friends, teachers, or pets you had. Did you have a pet as a child whom you felt a special bond? You can focus on those who are alive and special to you now. Do you have a close #friend you #love? • If the people or animals are decreased and you feel sad when you think of them, see if you can put these #feelings aside and focus only on your love for them. Remember that this love never dies. What they gave to you continues to be a resource for you throughout your life. • You might want to #imagine a container made of something strong into which you can put your grief or sadness, or any other painful thoughts or feelings. The container can be a treasure box with a strong lid that you can open when you would like. In the meantime, putting these feelings in there will allow you to focus on the good feelings. • Now bring up an image of a person or animal you love or have loved in the past. Bring the person or animal to mind as strongly as you can. The image should evoke only #positive feelings. For example, you might imagine yourself sitting on your parent’s lap as a child and being read a story. As you bring this image to mind, let yourself feel your love for your parent. Let the feeling of love fill your heart as much as possible. • As you imagine your loving resource person, you can increase the memory by activating the #senses. What are you seeing, smelling, hearing, feeling? Take in this person’s loving #presence. Feel it in your #body. Remember what it feels like to be loved, to be seen. Focus only on positive #imagery and feelings. Put aside any #memories or disappointed feelings. • Continue bringing up images of loving resource people as long as you like. You can bring this #meditation to life afterwards by #drawing or journaling about your #experience. If you have someone you can do this with, you can take turns to read the meditation slowly to one another too. • #Enjoy!

The highest #spiritual path is life itself. If you know how to live daily #life, it all becomes a liberating #experience. But first you have to approach life properly, or it can be very confusing. To #begin with, you have to realise that you really only have one choice in this life, and it’s not about your career, whom you want to marry, or whether you want to seek God. People tend to burden themselves with so many choices. But, in the end, you can throw it all away and just make one basic, underlying decision: Do you want to be #happy, or do you not want to be happy? It’s really that simple. Once you make that choice, you path through life becomes totally clear. – Michael A. Singer, The Untethered #Soul
