Love and Kindness

This week’s exercise was uplifting. I am a naturally loving and kind person. I realized when I was doing the exercise that I really have no enemies I could not visualize any or think of anyone who I consider an enemy of mine. I had a tough week with my brother and to take his suffering away and send him health and happiness was something that needed to be done. My brother is suffering right now; he is a drug addict who is dependent on drugs for happiness. This week he decided to check himself into rehab. I know that he is having a tough time. By doing this exercise, it made me feel more at peace with the situation. When doing the part of the exercise where I had to take the pain and suffering away from him all I saw in my mind was a black cloud but and when I sent out the health and happiness the cloud started to get lighter and lighter in color. By the end of that section, all I saw was white. It made me feel like the message I was sending got to him. My brother and I are like twins. They say that twins can feel each other’s pain; I feel it when my brother is suffering. So when I did this part of the exercise even though we are far apart I felt like the message was sent to him. By the end of this exercise, I had a feeling of happiness I felt like the love and kindness was through me. I like the exercises I feel every time I do them that I get a different experience and they are all different but the result is that they are always fabulous.
