Before you head into your next stressful meeting, take ten minutes to clear your mind and tune your brain for interpersonal effectiveness. Here’s the practice:
Find a quiet place to sit or stand comfortably. Close your eyes if you wish.
Breathe in, filling your lungs with oxygen.
Exhale slowly, releasing any tension you may be holding.
Let your mind settle gently on your natural breathing,
paying attention to the feeling of air flowing in and out of your body. When your mind wanders
off, gently bring it back to your breath.
Lift the corners of your mouth into a slight smile.
Continue this mindfulness meditation for two minutes.
Loving-kindness meditation begins with a focus on the self
. Without self-compassion, it is difficult to cultivate compassion for others.
Continuing with your breathing, slowly repeat the following phrases to yourself multiple times:
May I be safe, may I be happy,
may I be healthy, may I be free from suffering.
As you repeat the phrases, settle into the intention of goodwill they convey.
Connect your breath to the positive intentions you are directing toward yourself. Smile if you wish to.
Now bring to mind a person who has cared deeply for you,
such as a mentor or close friend. Focusing on that person and continuing with your breathing
, slowly repeat the following phrases to yourself multiple times,
settling into the positive intentions you are directing to this person:
May you be safe, may you be happy, may you be healthy,
may you be free from suffering.
Notice what sorts of thoughts and emotions arise. If they are negative
, it may help to repeat a few phrases such as the following:
Then, continuing with awareness of your breathing and
focusing on the person, repeat the phrases several times:
May you be safe, may you be happy, may you be healthy,
may you be free from suffering.
Conclude your meditation practice and continue with your day,
carrying with you the intentions of goodwill for yourself and others.
To understand why we get clumsy in difficult relationships,
consider that habitual patterns of thinking and behavior are like t
he deep grooves that get carved into a dirt road by the re
peated passage of tires. The deeper the grooves, the more likely we are to get stuck in them. This is why we tend to
have the same argument repeatedly with certain people, a
nd find ourselves unable to free ourselves from the familiar
script. Loving-kindness meditation improves our
ability to see those grooves more clearly, to lift ourselves
out of them, and to intentionally choose a better, more effective pathway.
Try to incorporate loving-kindness meditation into your
life and discover how a little positive spirituality can improve your life.
