Mind – Clear & Full

Mind – Clear & Full

LOVING KINDNESS MEDITATION

At the recent NAMA conference I loved the workshop, Role of Ojas in Building A Healthy Family from Birth to Old Age. It reminded me of the importance of ojas. And one speaker suggested a good way to increase ojas is through Loving Kindness Meditation.

This form of the Loving Kindness Meditation is what I use: I sit for meditation, focusing on the love I feel towards a person or deity. When this feeling is firmly established, I let go of the object and allow the love to be inward, filling my whole body and aura as I inhale and radiating outward from my heart like moonlight, as I exhale. This inborn love never is depleted.

Try it! You may find it renewing and also ojas increasing.

You’ll also get a PDF full of information and tips. PDF includes information on: Meditation Basics; Different Meditation Techniques; Scientific Studies on Meditation Benefits; and a Weekly Meditation Check List to track your progress and needs.

Second meeting– After one week of practice, Terra will help you tweak(or totally change) your technique, according to your experience. More suggestions to help may be emailed,30 min phone or video call.

Six Weekly Reports– Short check ins between us via email or text each week will give you the support and accountability to establish your meditation habit. More suggestions to help may be sent to you when needed.
