The moment you begin to practice mindful breathing, your body and your mind begin to come together with one another. If you do that with a little concentration, then you will be able to really be there, Our body might be there, but our mind is somewhere else.īetween the mind and the body, there is something that can serve as a bridge. So I would propose a very simple practice to you, the practice of mindful breathing: Breathing-I know that I am breathing in breathing-I know that I am breathing out. What must we do to really be there? Meditating is above all being present: to yourself, to those you love, to life. The most precious gift you can give to the one you love is your true presence. When you are rich, you want to continue to be rich, and so you end up devoting all your time, all your energy in your daily life, to staying rich. If you are not there, how can you love? Being there is very much an art, the art of meditation, because meditating is bringing your true presence to the here and now.īeing rich is an obstacle to loving. You must love in such a way that the person you love feels free, not only outside but also inside. When you love, you bring freedom to the person you love. The fourth element is upeksha, equanimity or freedom. If there is no joy in your love, you can be sure that it is not true love. If there is no joy in love, it is not true love. The third element of true love is joy, mudita. To meditate is to look deeply into the heart of things.
The practice of understanding is the practice of meditation.
NOTE: Deep looking helps you to understanding the nature of suffering in order to help him the person change. This is not only the desire to ease the pain of another person, but the ability to do so. The second element of true love is compassion, karuna. The fruit of this looking deeply is called understanding. To understand a person, we must have time we must practice looking deeply into this person. If you cannot understand, you cannot love.
If you do not understand this person, you cannot love properly. It is the ability to bring joy and happiness to the person you love, because even if your intention is to love this person, your love might make him or her suffer. The first is maitri, which can be translated as lovingkindness or benevolence.
