Compassion in Action — The Four Infinite Thoughts Meditation
Life isn’t exactly a cakewalk, is it? Some days, we’re just trying to keep it together. But there’s something magical about taking a moment to pause, breathe, and reset. That’s where meditation comes in—not to fix everything, but to give us a breather from the chaos.
One practice that truly invites reflection is The Four Infinite Thoughts Meditation. It’s not just about closing your eyes and zoning out; it’s about grounding yourself, finding happiness in the moment, and sharing that happiness with the world.
What It’s All About
Here’s the short version:
Ground yourself: Feet on the floor, spine long, and take a big, deep breath. That’s your starting point.
Happiness check: Feel into the idea that you’ve already got everything you need. Weirdly enough, this simple shift can do wonders.
Freedom from suffering: Imagine not just you, but everyone, being free from pain and struggle.
Joy overflow: Picture a world where everyone’s tapped into joy, and because of that, no one feels the need to hurt anyone else.
That’s just a sneak peek. The full meditation goes deeper into these steps, guiding you through how to feel these shifts in your body and mindset.
