Another day, another opportunity to practice generosity, even if it is only holding an elevator or door for someone or offering a smile.
Spread good vibes in the world
#BeHappy #metta
Be happy. Be happy. Be happy!
Love yourself!
#metta
A suggestion: Put the phone down, take some deep breaths, close your eyes. Feel into your body. Check in with yourself - not thinking about yourself but observing how you feel.
It's good for you.

It's Saturday - a perfect day to practice being kind!
Let's see what opportunities arise today that allow me to practice generosity (if only with a smile)
Let's see if an opportunity to practice patience comes up.

I start an 8 week intensive #metta retreat one month from now...
May you be happy, healthy, peaceful and free!

Another reminder, for myself as much as anyone, to radiate kindness towards all beings.
You are safe here.
May you be happy, healthy, peaceful and free.

Once again I am posting to remind myself to practice #metta... All day long, remembering to radiate kindness to everyone I see.
May you be happy!
I have a hard time switching from #Vipassana to #metta - or at least remembering to practice metta. I voice recorded the Metta Sutta (attached ) to play back to myself a few times a day as a reminder.
May you all be happy and kind

It is important to see this sort of straight talking, precisely because of the executive order last week that conflated criticism of the government with terrorism.

Start the day by thinking "may you be happy, healthy, peaceful, free"
...Aiming that intention towards all beings equally, including yourself.
Whatever is happening in the world is happening. You have a choice of how your inner world looks.
May you be happy, healthy, peaceful and free
Despite external conditions
#metta
You cannot reach a state of mind that is calm, equanimous and compassionate through means that are rushed and full of stress.
Find joy in your practice and be patient.

May you all be peaceful on this perfect day. Everything is just as it is.
Be happy! Be mindful. #metta

May you all be happy, healthy, peaceful and free!
Wavering between going on retreat for 3.5 months early next year, or working harder and earning more. This is the first time I haven't been 100% all in that the retreat is the better option.
I'll decide on Wednesday.

Yes, it's good to drop out at times and focus inwards. But this is partly to build strength, equanimity and clear vision so you can act more effectively in the world.

Just finished leading a 10 day #Vipassana retreat. It was so rewarding to connect to people in this way and to offer a gift that will help them for the rest of their lives. Such a good use of 10 days!
I am radiating #metta to you all.
May you all #BeHappy

Watching all the people and wishing:
