MINDFULNESS MONDAY:
This week’s activity is concerning the spirit of generosity.
Generosity does not become activated once we have excess. It is a quality of the spirit that is unrelated to one’s resources. Generosity can be expressed in kindness, warmth, loving words, kind notes and many other ways in addition to a generous giving of material resources.
A suggestion for the week:
• Come to a comfortable position and set a timer for at least 5 minutes.
• Envision yourself as a dignified, confident and generous person.
• Notice if your posture changes as you breathe and embody the qualities of dignity, confidence and generosity.
• First, ask yourself “In what ways am I already generous?”
• Notice the memories that come to mind.
• Then ask yourself “In what ways can I be generous today?”
• Observe the ideas that arise.
• When you finish your meditation, make an effort to take action on these new ideas. Practice generosity in one form or another every day this week.
Have wonderfully generous week!
