May you be free... May you be blessed...

11/3/2022

 
I recently discovered a beautiful metta practice described in The Sacred Art of Lovingkindness by Rabbi Rami Shapiro....page 27. I'm reading this book for the third time. Each time the person I am reading with or the timing provides so much beautiful insight... 

I say this as often as possible throughout the day and change up the ending of each line... I say it with an image in my mind of myself as a child, adolescent, young person, and to myself now. I say it to others, specifically those that annoy or anger me, etc. and I SIGH every single time! 

May you be free from... fear
May you be free from... obsession
May you be blessed with... peace
May you be blessed with... love

I am practicing BEING rather than doing. I am addicted to the list, to business, productivity, organizing, trail breaking, "progress", proficiency, more and more of 'git er done.' This is just another version of the hamster wheel I have been living on for most of my life. If it's not money, or efficiency it's spiritual epiphanies. My goal is to repeat this phrase to surrender and listen to my heart. To walk without purpose, to move without goals, to be aware, awake and open.
