i am so glad it works for you too ... whatever is going on, whoever is around me, its an easy, free way to relax and center, feel goodness within, and outside of myself, a way to reconnect with my feelings of hope, kindness, gratitude... a way to overcome darkness, bad feelings about something, a way to get through another hard time...

i combine it with another meditation, a mantra.. here is a link

i love the simplicity,purity of good energy



when iput it all together, i like to practice Tonglen as well, it can be done in 'minute meditations', as i go about other business, running in the background of my thoughts but present and effective all the same

Dr. Clay discusses the medical and emotive benefits in several chapters of his book

as a final 'treatment', i often draw Mandala's, a way to relax, express my inner emotions, on paper.. trying always to add just a tad more positivity to the 'whole picture' as was practiced in ancient society and still in practice today, in our architecture and designed patterns we all see everyday around us... i wonder how many know that the pattern on your quilt, the tile on your floor, the print on your toilet paper is a Mandala... surrounded by them continuously and we are unaware until we are aware
