Answer: Living with awareness to think, speak and act with compassion and wisdom bringing joy to yourself and others in the morning and reduceing suffering in the afternoon.
How: you can do one or all of the following:
- Sit and just focus on the breathings. I have found this would help me calm my body and mind, to connect to my true self, my subconscious level of thinking.
- Sit and breathe slowly with awareness. This has helped me to gain concentration and wisdom.
- If you don't have time for a long period of sitting meditation, whenever you have a chance just sit, close your eyes, breathe slowly and scan your body with your mind-eyes from head to toe (Focus on top of your head, eyes, ears, nose, mouth, the whole face, neck, shoulders, arms, elbows, wrists, hands - all the way to the finger tips, chest, stomach area, hips, thighs, knees, calves, ankles and feet - to the tips of your toes and bottom of your feet.
You will see your body can relax from doing these simple actions.
- Then just feel your heart Breathe and be aware at the center of your chest, feel the gentleness and loving kindness in you spreading out from the center of your chest throughout your whole body and mind.
May you be safe, healthy, joyful and prosperous in the New Year.
