When we step into a life of kindness, our world takes on a whole new outlook. We start with being kind to ourselves first. This gives us space to be kind to others and the world in general. The universe is then kind back to us in return.

Kindness starts with being kind to ourselves, which allows us to extend that kindness to others and the world, resulting in kindness being returned to us.

The Keys to Kindfulness

We are often very hard on ourselves, so today I offer a kindness meditation, one I like to call the Inner Smile. Meditating with the spirit of a smile awakens our natural capacity for unconditional friendliness. It helps to activate the energy of loving kindness and gratitude for ourselves and others.

Practice the Inner Smile, a kindness meditation that awakens natural friendliness and activates loving kindness and gratitude towards ourselves and others.

Inner Smile - A Kindness Meditation

Bring acceptance and kindness to oneself with this meditation. Why is it so challenging to love and accept ourselves? This is a common issue that people present to me during healing sessions. Most of us are continually striving, trying to prove we are OK causing us to not fully enjoy our lives. We can be our own worst critics which cause great suffering. We rarely feel we are good enough just as we are. This does not mean we stop growing and healing but it does mean accepting who we are in this moment with Kindness.

Meditation helps bring self-acceptance and kindness, overcoming challenges of constantly striving to prove ourselves and being our own worst critics.

How to Love and Accept Yourself

This meditation offers you the opportunity to rest in a feeling of pure love for a while. You are a part of a loving Universe from which you were created. You are just as worthy of receiving love and kindness as anyone or anything else. You cannot be loving or kind to other beings without being loving and kind towards yourself. Showing love and kindness to yourself is never limited only to yourself because the field of love and kindness is limitless. Background music: Our Peaceful Ocean by Music Of Wisdom

Rest in pure love, recognizing your worthiness to receive and give kindness, as part of a limitless loving Universe, in this meditation with background music.

A Loving-Kindness Connection With Love

Mindfulness is present moment awareness without judgement and with great kindness towards ourselves and others. When we dwell in this moment we begin to note that it has no center, no boundaries and this allows us to relax.

Mindfulness is being aware of the present moment without judgement, leading to relaxation through recognizing its lack of boundaries.

Awareness of Being

This meditation is about grounding oneself & setting a foundation for a meditation practice to build upon. It can be used as a beginner meditation, and it can also serve as a jumping-off point for a longer, self-guided meditation. This would be a great meditation to do every day, as you cultivate and continue to grow a daily practice! The acronym, FARM is one I developed to support a blossoming meditation practice & stands for: Facilitation of Accommodating Recommendations for Meditation. The practice itself, which I also developed, consists of 3 FARMs & are as follows: 1.) Be Still 2.) No Judgment 3.) Embrace Peace & Loving Kindness

Grounding meditation for beginners and daily practice using FARM acronym (Facilitation of Accommodating Recommendations for Meditation) with 3 steps: Be Still, No Judgment, Embrace Peace & Loving Kindness.

Take 10 minutes out to develop your mindfulness skills in this meditation. Learn to go slow, accept what is happening, and practice returning to a present moment experience. Doing this simple practice can help you to not take meditation too seriously as our mind will wander, whatever the situation. We must be kind and realize that that is what it does. Our job is to notice and come back to the present in a gentle way.

Practice mindfulness through meditation for 10 minutes, learning to go slow, accept distractions, and gently return to the present moment.

Simple Mindfulness Meditation

We can practice sending loving thoughts toward others which are easier than sending them to ourselves sometimes. In this practice, we start with others to open our minds and then we sit and allow feeling to emerge when we direct these kind words toward ourselves. Self-compassion is good for our health even though we think it is difficult.

Practice sending loving thoughts to others first to open your mind, then direct them towards yourself for self-compassion, which is good for your health.

Loving Kindness For Self And Other

Present, Precious Moment (Mini Gatha)

When we first start our journey into mindfulness it is important to cultivate a sense of kindness. Being able to access kindness is an essential skill and helps break the habit of always thinking negatively about things. Bring this practice during the first few weeks of your routine. It asks us to remember acts of kindness and to feel instead of think.

Cultivating kindness is essential in the early stages of mindfulness practice, breaking the habit of negative thinking and encouraging feeling over thinking.

Felt Sense Of Kindness

We need meditation to show us how to create space within our typically busy mind, for being present and as a practice that leads us within; to attune to the openness and quiet that exists as a deeper aspect of our being. Meditation allows us to soften our minds, to evoke a state of inner kindness that becomes a state of being in which to live. Meditation teaches the practice of knowing the self. For it is here that we create a wondrous life out of care, ease, and presence. Through Meditation, you open yourself to experiencing and living awakened in your life.

What Is Meditation?

Let's start a bedtime ritual to fall asleep with kindness towards our bodies, our health, and ourselves. This meditation moves through a progressive body scan to send love and gratitude all throughout our bodies as we mentally scan, relaxing into the moment to fall asleep in a positive way. Too often we look for what we want to change about our bodies; this brings us back to kindness and self-love. When we take care of our bodies, they will take care of us.
