NURTURE LOVING KINDNESS (Metta Bhavana)

Happy Valentine's Day or Single Awareness Day to all.

It is always easy to remember your loved ones, those that are dear to your heart on this day. May I suggest that in your meditations today, challenge yourself to enlarge your circle of family, friends, and dear ones to include those who have wronged you or treated you poorly. When you send your love out to the world today be sure to include the those that you would not usually think to encompass. It is easy on the mind to focus your love and kind thoughts onto the ones you care about, it is most difficult to send kind affection to the ones you may dislike. When you come to the realization that we are all one, that we are all interconnected, it becomes easier to let go of past hurts and resentment. Cultivate loving kindness in your meditations today.

Wishing everyone loving kindness today and hope you all get to celebrate romance with your honey, give/receive cupcakes, relish dark chocolates, and enjoy a decadent day of love.

Namaste
