Twin Heart Meditation

When I read this article from mymixedjar, it reminded me of Pranic Healing "Twin Heart Meditation".

To the Supreme One
Make me an instrument of your peace
Where there is hatred, let me sow love
Where there is injury, pardon
Where there is despair, hope; doubt, faith
Where there is darkness, light; sadness, joy

From the center of the heart of God
Let the entire earth be blessed with loving-kindness
Let the entire earth be blessed with great joy and happiness

From the center of the heart of God
Let the entire earth be blessed with understanding, harmony and divine peace
Let the entire earth be blessed with goodwill and the will to do good

From the center of the heart of God
Let the entire earth, every person, and every being be blessed with divine love and kindness
Let the entire earth, every person and every being be blessed with divine sweetness, divine joy with warmness, caringness and tenderness

From the center of the heart of God
Let the entire earth, every person and every being be blessed with inner healing, inner beauty, divine bliss and divine oneness .......

The Lighter Side Of Meditation

Many people are afraid of this big word "meditation" when in fact it is an easy and small feat to practise daily. Maybe it's the harshness of some buddhist meditation retreats or maybe simply they have not found the way.

This meditaiton exercise below takes about 15 to 20 minutes or even an hour; depending how long you wish to smile ):. Even children are able to follow through and feel good at the end of it. This is especially great for people who feels that at every turn of the road they come against great walls and huge humps and life is nothing but a heap of waste. Bring the smile onto your face and you will be amazed that life is not that harsh any more. It melts the hardest steel!

Breathe in deeply, allowing room for fresh air, life energy, love and smiles to come into every cell of your body and into the blood stream.

Breathe out deeply, exhaling negative emotions, hatred, anger and all your worries and troubles.

Relax completely. Starting with your feet roam your whole body, releasing tensions, worries and stress.

Now think of a happy event. The happy moments of your life. It can be with the one you love or just simply being alone, walking along the beach, lying in the greenfields or just watching the stars at night. You feel happy, you feel loved. You are smiling, smiling all around you

Very slowly extend this smile to your third eye. Your third eye sees what is beyond. It sees the beauty in all. Yes, your third eye is now smiling.

This smile travels down to your left eye and to your right eye. Your eyes are smiling. Smiling to all u meet. Smiling to all you see.

The smile flows to your left ear and goes thru to the right ear. Beautiful soothing music fills your ears. They are delighted. They are smiling to one another.

Allow the smile to seep thru to your nose. The fragrance of rose fills the air. It is so intoxicating. The nose breathe in the sweet smelling fragrance and breathe out smile after smile

This sweet smelling smile now fills your mouth. Your teeth, your tongue, your saliva feels refreshed. Sweet loving words now flows out of your mouth. It spreads to your lips. Your lips are smiling. Smiling to every living creature.

This smile continues to flow from the mouth to the lungs. Your lungs feel light and gay and are bouncing with joy. They are exchanging smiles.

The smile now reaches the heart. It is flooding the heart with love, gratitude, kindness, peace, smiles and more smiles. It is expressing words of love.

Remain in this state of smile. Stay with the smile, be one with the smile.

Ajahn Brahm's Books

Good news folks! Ajahn Brahm's books have finally arrived and I was able to grab a couple of copies of both his books. If you have read my earlier posts A and B you will note that the titles of the books differ. I shall correspond the 2 books of different titles but they are the one and the same book. Folks believe me, if you are into meditation, do justice to yourself. Especially the book Happiness Through Meditation. They only cost less than RM60 each.

Opening The Door Of Your Heart - Ajahn Brahm

Another of Ajahn Brahm great books. These are stories which are easily assimilated instead of the dry stuff. You can actually finish reading the book in one day

Happiness Through Meditation - Ajahn Brahm

A gem of a book. A Must Have. As Dr Teoh Lam Chuan puts it "Ajahn Brahm has put together a very comprehensive book guiding a meditation practitioner from the most basic to the most succinct of Jhanas".

"This is a book that is destined to become dog-eared and cherished and read aloud to one's friends and family. It will fall apart from your attention, I promise you" - Mandala
