UUC Wednesday Meditation Group: Meditation for Feb 25th

[Mark Lee]

Hello Everyone,

This week we will conduct an extended Loving Kindness meditation. In the first half we will center and then sit silently. During the second we will focus on sending thoughts and feelings of love and kindness to ourselves, others and the world at-large.

Some references on Loving Kindness:

• Loving Kindness on BuddhaNet
• How To Meditate: Loving Kindness
• Mettā
• Turning Straw Into Gold from Psychology Today

We will meet via Zoom from 7:30 pm to 8:30 pm.

Quote for the Week:

“But loving-kindness—maitri—toward ourselves doesn’t mean getting rid of anything. Maitri means that we can still be crazy after all these years. We can still be angry after all these years. We can still be timid or jealous or full of feelings of unworthiness. The point is not to try to change ourselves. Meditation practice isn’t about trying to throw ourselves away and become something better. It’s about befriending who we are already. The ground of practice is you or me or whoever we are right now, just as we are. That’s the ground, that’s what we study, that’s what we come to know with tremendous curiosity and interest.”

― Pema Chödrön, Awakening Loving-Kindness

I tried twice to get to this session but each time it was just me ...no one else. 

I will be away next week...no Internet. Be back the week after!

All the best,
Judith
