If you have a spare intention...
I should have thought of this earlier, but better late than never.
A friend's father has stage 4 cancer. While visiting him this past week, her healthy 14-year old nephew (her father's grandson) drowned in Lake Erie. It's all the terrible-ness you could possible imagine, and she's been in my thoughts a lot. Just realized that, at my computer, I have a connection to a whole network of beautiful, practicing yogis who can send their thoughts to my friend. So, if you take a class this week and are asked to set an intention, if you have a spare intention, send it to my friend. She is beautiful and lovely and life feels shitty and psychotic right now.
Here is a metta/loving kindness meditation practice:

Here is a metta/loving kindness meditation practice:
- Imagine someone you love very much. Hold an image of them in your mind's eye. Send them your light, your love. Tell them: may you be happy, may you be healthy, may you be peaceful. Repeat 3x, or more if it feels powerful.
- Imagine someone you are having personal difficulties with. Hold an image of them in your mind's eye. Send them your light, your love. Tell them: may you be happy, may you be healthy, may you be peaceful. Repeat 3x, or more if it feels powerful.
- Imagine yourself. Hold an image of yourself in your mind's eye. Feel your light and your love. Tell yourself: may you be happy, may you be healthy, may you be peaceful. Repeat 3x, or more if it feels powerful.
- If you have the space, repeat for my friend. You don't have to know what she looks like, just know she is out there.
