The Four Living Abodes

Remember these four words/phrases:

loving kindness

compassion

empathetic joy

equanimity

Add these four to your meditation practice. After you breathe and quiet your mind take first a moment and hold the words loving kindness in focus and feel that feeling and direct it toward one deserving and then, to the best you are able to another less deserving. Feel compassion toward one who suffers. Feel joy for the good fortune and success of another and practice calm, that serene calm we know as equanimity, the calm that allows a person’s spirit to unfold.
