My friend and colleague, Julie Kaus, recently shared this version of Metta meditation found in Pocketful of Miracles by Joan Borysenko:
“May I be at peace, May my heart remain open,
May I awaken to the light of my own true nature,
May I be healed and may I be a source of healing for others.”
What a lovely way to start one’s day. I think I’m going to use this during my Lenten prayer time. Lovely images. I hope this prayer speaks to you as well.
For all us women in need of some spring renewal, there is still a chance to take part in the Women’s Spring Retreat next weekend with Julie (Friday Mar 18 – Sun 20 2011). Enjoy gentle yoga, ritual, meditation for women, nutritious food, quiet time, nature hikes, nurturing & reflective activities. Julie is a phenomenal yoga teacher and psychotherapist with over 30 years of experience in the healing arts. Visit her site for more info.
Blessings,
Love this!!! Thanks, Lisa!!!
Love the meditation – thank you for sharing. The retreat sounds fabulous – I can’t make it work on short notice, but it really sounds like a great opportunity.
I have written many stories from the point of view of one “Rebecca” who I feel is somehow my alternate the person I would have been if I had not been summoned to this particular life. I cannot be with you, and it would be wrong to try, but Rebecca will be with you in spirit. Blessings, Bb.
I do like this metta meditation. Thanks, Lisa!
