Extending the kingdom of your heart
"O Divine Mother, teach me to use the gift of Thy love in my heart to love others." –Paramhansa Yogananda
Many studies nowadays prove that central to a happy life are fulfilling and supportive relationships with other people. We also know that it's not always easy to be loving to others. Often those closest to us bring the most friction into our lives.
Meditation can help immeasurably to bring peace, harmony, and joy into your relations with others.
In this Learn How to Meditate you will:
- Learn an effective technique to help you calm the mind and heart
- Practice affirmations and visualizations to open your heart to others
- Connect with your innate wisdom to get greater perspective on relationships
- Experience the gifts of your meditation to help you understand others and connect in better ways.
Even just a few minutes of meditation added to your day can revolutionize how you relate to those around you.
"Avoid voicing negative emotions. Wait, rather, for calmness to return. When you are upset, you perceive few things with clarity, though Emotion parades itself in the garb of revelation. Calm your heart’s feelings: Only in calmness can you perceive things as they really are."
—Secrets of Life by Swami Kriyananda
