day 10 ... Your Giving Heart

almost midnight and time for my nightly meditation which is almost a morning one
enjoy the images as I love visuals to accompany our mediation


"It is one of the most beautiful compensations of life that no man can
 sincerely try to help another without helping himself."
—Ralph Waldo Emerson

Centering Thought for Today:
"Today and every day I find simple ways to give to everyone I meet."


Welcome to Day 10 - Your Giving Heart

In today's meditation we will focus on how a giving heart brings abundant benefits to your life. Some charities advertise, "Give 'til it hurts." These are strange words, since there is almost nothing that feels as good as giving. And you cannot give without receiving some reward. Offer a hug to someone and feel the sensations in your heart when they reach out to hug you back. Give a cookie to your child and bask in the smile that reaches across his face. Allow someone to move in front of you at the checkout line in the grocery store, acknowledge the other person's smile, and notice how good you feel.

If you wake up every morning feeling less than exceedingly grateful and utterly in love with life, find a way to give of yourself today: a smile, a hug, a compliment, a flower. Don't give 'til it hurts; give 'til it feels fantastic! Deepak Chopra writes, "Total commitment to giving makes receiving automatic—it is the other half of a natural cycle."
