Loving kindness

Body

Close our eyes gently and softly. The soft light may enter but not the picture. Place our hands comfortably on our lap with the right hand on the left one. Please sit straight with the neck and the back straight on the same straight line. If we sit straight, we will control our awareness of the mind firmly.

Adjust our whole body to make sure we are comfortable. We may imagine we are alone and sitting in a field of grass on a mountain. The green color of the field of grass contrasts with the blue color of the sky in the morning which is so beautiful. We may feel that the fresh morning air on the mountain moves in every single cell of our body. This makes us feel relaxed and comfortable throughout our entire body. When our body is relaxed, it is easy to relax our mind.

Mind

The proper mind for meditation has to be free from anxiety. It must be neutral. Our mind has to be free from positive and negative emotions. Temper will make us negative and our mind will not be neutral. The Meditation Master suggests that the way to calm our emotional mind is to allow the mind to touch at the centre of our body. This is the place where our body and mind are balanced. If we place our mind at this position, our mind will be calm, and our body will be relaxed and comforted automatically.

Introducing centre

For the beginners may not know where the centre of the body is. We may assume the body centre by following the in-breath. At the end or turning point of the in-breath, it is the centre of the body. Now we may imagine that it is empty with no organ inside our abdomen. Please breathe deeply, and allow the mind to touch at the end of the breath or the centre of the body. Please touch softly and gently.

Keeping and confirming the centre

       We may convince our mind any time to remain at the centre of our body by following the in-breath. Allow the mind to touch at any time at the end of the breath. Please touch softly and gently.

We maintain the awareness of the mind to stay in touch with the centre of the body. If we touch the body centre more softy and gently, the peace energy will flow more and more from there. Please touch softly and gently, softly and gently.

       Now, our mind is calmer. We may feel more peace energy at the centre of the body. Any time, when our mind returns to our body centre, we will feel peaceful and happy. We will forget moody and gloomy feelings. We will have more love and compassion. Our body and mind will be purified until our whole body is the body of peace and joy.

We may feel/ that the peace energy at our body centre is getting richer and stronger, as it radiates outwards in all directions beyond our physical body, covering the entire meditation room.

Loving kindness

       Now our mind is full of peace energy. Peace energy is the energy of love and compassion. Our feeling of peace energy radiates outwards in all directions and touches other sentient beings with love, compassion, loving kindness and good wishes. If sentient beings are suffering, then the peace energy will make them suffer less. If sentient beings are suffering not that much, then the peace energy will free them. If sentient beings are happy, then the peace energy will make them happier. We shall keep expanding the feeling of peace. Allow peace energy radiate infinitely.

Ending

Now we will slowly withdraw from centre space. But we withdraw only the five physical senses. Yet the mind and the feeling of love and compassion could be confirmed over here inside.

We may hear the noise outside. We may feel the temperature outside. We may feel some pain. And finally…the last thing… we slowly open our eyes and see the world that surrounds.
