Good morning! I just finished a week long meditation retreat with a dear friend our our two sons who are 18 and 20. We meditated 6.5 hours a day at minimum. Usually in 1.5 hour sessions. There was one 5 hour session. There were 1600 other people there and the love in the room and hotel was off the charts. So why were we all so loving and happy to each other? Why was it that these 1600 people opened doors for each other , had disagreements without yelling at each other, got creative and with each other, dreamed with each other? What was making us all so happy and tolerant? Was it that we agreed with each other 100 percent? No. It was love for ourselves, love for each other. So as I return back to the my life, and wonder how we can make that magical week look like the world we live in everyday, the only thing that comes to mind and is that we must all go within and love ourselves first. Like really love ourselves, and forgive ourselves, and really want to do better. I know terrible things are happening and I am not happy about them. But posting videos and arguing amongst ourselves is not the answer. I believe real change happens when WE change. When we see something happening in front of us and we say something in love, not anger, when we get curious about why someone is doing something and look for the answers. Yes some of the terrible things I see or read make me angry, very angry. But I am going to feel that anger, get curious in love and do my part in a loving way.
