Day 9 – Take a breath. And another. And another.
May I be safe and protected and free from inner and outer harm. May I be happy and contented. May I be healthy and whole to whatever degree possible. May I experience ease of well-being.
So, if you are open to expanding the field of loving-kindness out from your own heart and your own body and your own being, in your mind’s eye and in your heart, evoking for now the feeling or image of an individual, a person for whom you have great affection, someone you were close to emotionally. Can you hold this person in your heart with the same quality of loving-kindness that you have been directing towards yourself? Whether it is a child or a parent, a brother or a sister, a grandparent or other relative near or distant, a close friend singly or together. Breathing with them in your heart. Holding them in your heart. Imagining them in your heart as best you can.
May you be safe and protected and free from inner and outer harm. May you be happy and contented. May you be healthy and whole to whatever degree possible. May you experience ease of well-being.
