Полюби свой мозг

:10 минут

Медитация милосердия. Примите удобную и расслабленную позу и закройте глаза. Глубоко вдохните два или три раза, вдвое замедлив ритм вдохов и выдохов по сравнению с обычным. Пусть все заботы и тревоги уйдут прочь; почувствуйте, как дыхание омывает ваше сердце. Тихо или безмолвно повторяйте следующие (или похожие) слова:

Я цел, невредим и избегаю бед.Я в здравии и силе.Я счастлив и целеустремлен.Я в мире и покое.

Пусть намерение этих слов укоренится в вашем сознании, когда вы произносите их. Пусть чувства углубятся.

После этого направьте слова медитации в адрес человека, которому вы благодарны или который помог вам.

Будь цел, невредим и избеги бед.Будь в здравии и силе.Будь счастлив и целеустремлен.Будь в мире и покое.

Теперь представьте человека, к которому вы относитесь нейтрально. Выберите того, кто не вызывает у вас приязни или неприязни, и повторите слова.

Теперь представьте человека, который вам не нравится или доставляет вам неприятности, и повторите слова, обращаясь к нему. Дети, которых дразнят или издеваются в школе, часто обретают уверенность в себе, когда посылают теплые пожелания людям, которые пытаются унизить их.

И наконец, повторите слова, распространив их максимально широко: Пусть все будут целы, невредимы и избегут бед.

Эта медитация может продолжаться до получаса, в зависимости от вашего желания.
