“I have seen that there are a number of people who benefit from doing loving kindness meditation, either prior to or along with mindfulness meditation. It varies from person to person of course, but for many, their practice of mindfulness will bring along old habits of self-judgment and ruthless criticism, so it is not actually mindfulness.” PeoplePersonsSelfCoursesNumbersPracticeKindnessMeditationHabitBenefitsJudgmentMindfulnessCriticismRuthlessVaryLoving KindnessOld HabitsMeditation Mindfulness Author:Sharon Salzberg

“The mistake we make is that when we're feeling another person is not treating us in the way that makes us feel secure and loved, we fixate our attention on that person and what's wrong with them. We also fixate on what's wrong with us. Instead, we can bring forward two wings of awareness: the wing of mindfulness (noticing what's going on inside us) and the wing of kindness (compassion to what's going on inside us).” WayFeelsPersonsTwoFeelingsAttentionMistakeCompassionKindnessAwarenessMindfulnessWingsSecureNoticing Author:Tara Brach

“In Asian languages, the word for mind and the word for heart are same. So if you’re not hearing mindfulness in some deep way as heartfulness, you’re not really understanding it.

“We can have skills training in mindfulness so that we are using our attention to perceive something in the present moment. This perception is not so latent by fears or projections into the future, or old habits, and then I can actually stir loving-kindness or compassion in skills training too, which can be sort of provocative, I found.” I CanMomentsFoundAttentionCompassionKindnessHabitSkillsPerceptionMindfulnessTrainingPerceivePresent MomentProjectionProvocativeLatentLoving KindnessOld HabitsSkills Training Author:Sharon Salzberg

“Just as a mother would protect with her life her own son, her only son, so one should cultivate an unbounded mind towards all beings, and loving-kindness towards all the world. One should cultivate an unbounded mind, above and below and across, without obstruction, without enmity, without rivalry. Standing, or going, or seated, or lying down, as long as one is free from drowsiness, one should practice this mindfulness. This, they say, is the holy state here.” WorldShouldMindLongStatesLyingMotherPracticeKindnessSonBuddhismHolyProtectMindfulnessStandingBuddhistRivalryEnmityLoving KindnessObstructionLying DownOnly SonAbove And Below Author:Gautama Buddha
