Sending love and compassion to ourselves
and others has the power to heal and
transform our suffering. We can send our
healing energy of love and compassion first
to ourselves, then to those we love, then to
someone we have difficulties with, and finally
to all beings everywhere who are suffering.
We can say "May I," then
"May you," "May
they," and finally
"May all beings." You might
like to recite this every evening before bed, or
during your daily meditation practice. Like this
we can connect with the whole world, with all
beings everywhere.
May I be peaceful, happy, and light in
body and mind.
May I be safe and free from injury.
May I be free from anger, fear, and anxiety.
May I learn to look at myself with the eyes
of understanding and love.
May I be able to recognize and touch the seeds
of joy and happiness in myself.
May I learn to identify and see the sources of
anger, craving, and delusion in myself. May I know how to nourish the seeds of joy
in myself every day.
May I be able to live fresh, solid, and free.
May I be free from attachment and aversion,
but not be indifferent. 123
