    Re: Discuss: Lion Contemplation

    Geri, what an amazing insight! This is truly integrating what you are practicing into your life. Talking about joy coming from within and from connection to the happiness of others sounds trite or unbelievable if it is not made real as you have done in sharing this story.

    Discuss : Fear and Fearlessness

    My experience of self-absorption is that it has a tremendous amount to do with my fear of opening up to the huge universe of possiblities. The flip side of that is that when my heart is open to the universe of possiblities, I actually feel joy and not fear! This experience of the choice I have in how...

    Discuss: Lion Contemplation

    Re: Discuss: Contemplation in Bed Practice

    I have been doing this practice every morning for about 2 years now, and it really has changed my orientation to my day. I wake up and think about how my day can be of benefit to others, and then specifically arouse the wish for certain people to experience happiness that day. All day, I return to these...
