Mindset is everything. Yet, for most of us, a protective mindset dominates and keeps us from becoming the fullest expression of who we are. While that protective mindset has value - it can help keep us safe and help us learn how to create our own safety - it can also undermine happiness and interfere with our ability to manifest.
A simple practice to quickly shift away from an over-protective mindset is Maitri or loving-kindness Meditation.
Maitri is a Sanskrit word that means benevolence, loving-kindness, goodwill, an active interest in the well-being of others. Maitri (Metta) meditation is the 1st of the 4 sublime states of being in Tibetian tantric yoga.
In this episode we do this Metta meditation together:
May I be happy;
May I be healthy;
May my heart be open;
and may I stand in the light of my own true self.
This is a modification of a Metta meditation that I learned from my beloved mentor and friend, Stephen Cope (Kavi). May it help you open your heart, find happy well-being, and anchor yourself within.
Namaste
