When meditating we usually immediately think about how to do it benefits us in the first person, either to reach a state of relaxation, visualize or simply enter a state of peace of mind. In this sense we have little started to think about all the benefits that this activity can provide more than just to us, also to the people around us.
Meditating allows us to reform our mind, initially to understand how it works, how our thoughts move and how they affect us. However, meditating can also benefit other people, we can train our mind to be kinder, less critical and more understanding. From here we can begin to see how our meditation routine has a very positive effect on our relationships and the world around us.
As part of our learning process during meditation we learn that it is not just to put ourselves in a state of comfort and start to blank our mind. Meditation also helps us to understand how we talk to each other, how our permanent internal dialogue develops, and in this sense, that is where compassion begins, by starting to improve our relationship with ourselves. You can't feel love or kindness or compassion for another if you don't start with yourself.
"Why am I like this?", "I can't believe what I said,""it's always the same, failure after failure." Our kindness to ourselves is usually a reserve that is obscured by those conversations that only you hear, over which you have all the power, but which at the same time allow it to happen, and which fill you with a message full of fears, worries, frustrations and the emotions that these can unleash. This is one of the reasons why being in mindfulness is such an important tool for your mind and how it works.
Meditation, by its very nature and beyond Mindfulness, cultivates in those who practice it a much softer, kinder, kinder, more loving mind. Meditating to feel more compassion is a form of this exercise in which our thoughts will go to a person we love and perceive how our feelings, those we feel for the person, are poured through our body from messages of compassion and love that are delivered to her.
"May you have happiness,
may you be free from suffering,
may you experience joy and ease."
The more we meditate in this way, with love, with dedication of goodness in our mind, the more compassion is nurtured, the more the so harmful judgment and prejudice are set aside. The more familiarity we have with ourselves and our inner dialogue, the more we can be able to feel and have compassion and empathy for others.
The mind when it is not hidden by self-centered thinking, it is goodness.
