Mita learns about Metta :)

Over the years I’ve come across the Buddhist term of metta meaning loving kindness – the sweetest practice of treating others in the same gentle manner as we would treat ourselves and wanting the best for ourselves and the world around us.

Loving kindness begins within. If we’re kind to ourselves we’ll be kind with others. More often than not if we have a critical voice inside us scolding us when we make a mistake, we end up adopting the same cold, harsh tone while reprimanding a child.

Meditation seems to be the key to getting into this space and I’m working on it. It does take time but I just know the results will be worth it.

May you be well
May you be Happy
May you be peaceful
May you be Loved

If you’d like to practice Metta there are a number of guided meditation in youtube on this topic, explore and enjoy 🙂

The Gleam of Unconditional Love

For mere mortals like me, unconditional love is an aspired state, one that I consciously strive towards understanding or attaining. Like a kid who’s been told if she jumps up really high, she can pluck off a star from the night sky. And so the little girl in me jumps and falls, jumps and falls believing that one day I will get a twinkly piece of starlight in my palms. And in the process I think I’ve learnt a wee bit 🙂

Freedom is the key to unconditional love. No traps. No expectations. And absolutely no questions ever.

We are all unique souls on our unique path. No soul can ever claim ownership upon another soul. Yes the mother can carry a child in her womb and man and woman can reach states of blissful unity but the other’s soul still belongs to them.

Freedom is scary, exhilirating and brings with it a different sense of responsibility altogether. To love unconditionally means being responsible for one’s own inner peace, path and dream first. And then bringing forth that love to the world around us.

Healing has NOTHING to do with the healer and all to do with YOU and YOUR connection with the Source. The more you want it, the better it gets. The more open you are, the faster healing happens. Healers are mere channels, nothing more, nothing less.The same energy that heals you heals the healer. – Mita Bhan Excerpts from Meditation

Healing Me. Healing You.

Healers have no saintly haloes over their heads. No super powers either. They’re just people who’ve faced unimaginable depths of pain and have emerged knowing that NO ONE ELSE should have to face what they did alone. They make it their mission to help ease the suffering of others. Healers offer a hand in tough times. Endless tissues to wipe away the tears. And a heart that feels the pain sometimes too much. Healers learn that compassion and care doesnt mean absorbing what you’re going through it means genuinely caring for the suffering of another understanding fully well that the patient is in full charge of his or her own karma and in no way can the healer interfere with it. Its energy working at subtle levels yet respecting the boundary of the individual. – Mita Bhan “Excerpts from Meditation”

What is meant to be will happen

“Realise the futility of effort. If something is meant to be, it will come of its own accord. When you sop seeking, searching or expecting, it will begin to happen.”

The more I clamour for something, the further it slips from my grasp. The more I obsess the more tired I get from thinking about all the possible answers in all combinations. That’s my mind telling me to take a break and figure out how much energy I’m wasting in the process. Better to just be.
