Meditation teacher's say-"It's the work that's good for us." It's so important to remember this in many moments of our lives. In lovingkindness meditation, we move toward our hearts. We kneel down to the mystery, asking for baptism in the well of experience. In meditation, we talk about how words are symbols for experience, not the thing itself. Each time we say the words for the lovingkindness meditation-it is an exercise-to check in with one's self, to locate the experience of lovingkindness. Say or think, "may I be filled with lovingkindness" and see if you can truly find the feeling, allow or create the feeling of lovingkindness to fill, to contact, to embody and bloom in your energy body. Like Mantak Chia's smile deep within at the inner heart-center, feel the lovingkindness circulate in the four bodies, bring lovingkindness into the: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual bodies.
