Daily Meditation: A Loving Kindness Meditation for Forgiveness and Peace
May you be filled with joy.
May you be at peace.
May you move with kindness.
This is a loving-kindness meditation. You offer joy, peace, and kindness to the people in your life you love in order to make it easier to offer the same joy, peace, and kindness to the people in your life with whom you have some conflict.
It’s a tool for inner peace and forgiveness.
Here’s how it works physiologically:
Your memory is only as good as the last time you remembered something.
Whaaat?
Okay, so you know when you save a document, it saves the most recent version with the edits?
It’s kind of the same thing with your memories.
When you think of someone, your neurons are tugging at the last time you remembered it, like your computer pulls up the last time you saved a document.
So what your body experiences are what you felt the last time you were thinking of that person.
You can train your brain to think peaceful, loving, kind thoughts about even the cruelest people.
It will soften them.
But more importantly, it will soften you.
