LOVING KINDNESS MEDITATION
Hallo! I'd like to share with you here a simple meditation technique that will bring you instant contentment and leave your whole being 'fizzing' with positive energy. The 'Loving Kindness Meditation' is Oli's own interpretation of a few meditation 'classics' that is lovely to perform in public places and which you can carry round with you 'in your pocket' so to speak. Take the tube, the bus, or a communter train, for example, and reflect for a moment on how 'anonymous' the atmosphere inside can make you feel. It certainly doesn't help me start the day off in a magnanimous mood.
With the intention of 'warming' up the environment a little and sharpening my sense of awareness of the moment, I like to imagine a brilliant, golden beam of light shining from my heart right into the hearts of all the folks in my field of vision. Within only a few moments I find myself literally beaming and alive. And it doesn't have to stop there; the same positive visualization can go with you down a busy street, in a quiet cafe, standing in line, sitting in class...
There are, I believe, many similar meditation techniques at our fingertips for countless daily situations . With so many potential threats to our inner peace floating in and out of our days, stand up for your right to contentment. I'll post a number of simple, everyday meditations on these blog pages over the coming weeks. I'd love to hear how they've worked for you, and if you can add any new ones yourself.
Have a lovely day. Follow your bliss...

Olly, your ideas are pretty interesting and I would like to put them in practice but..... I am too clumsy! Last time I did it(usually I train myself in the tube since I spend in there most of my time.... I am just one of the 'luckiest' Italians who live far from the office!... You have no idea of how the lines work here! A drama!) I forgot where I had to get off. I meditated too much, maybe! Another time I was so concentrated expanding my joy to the others that an old man looked at me and said 'you are a nice girl but you should stop to drug!'.... I almost cried in that moment! What's wrong with my meditation?? So, I gave up to do it in public. Sometimes it's necessary to behave like a robot... it's for survival! Or I simply just need to learn how to channel my meditation... Do you know a good guru?
Have a funny day!
Lots of love!
I love you Olls...
i have a sneaky suspicion that you direct that beam of light from your heart..straight onto your blog space! coz everytime i 'visit' i find myself beaming! hugzzz
