    If you cried during most of this you are not alone. The comments show just how human this reaction is. I believe we all have a calling to grow and this reaction is the realization of all the things we have been believing that have kept us from growing. Become mindful. grow. The mind is what makes us human.

    I started getting choked up and tearing up when I thought how peaceful and happy I was without a care in the world. Lots of friends, going out, playing videogames with my sister, I didnt think about stress back then. My current age of 33 y.o, I've been though a lot in my mid twenties, a lot of tears, heartbreak, and no self-worth. I want to regain that again, be happy and carefree again. And I have to give myself that happiness and peace again how I did when I was a baby, 5 y.o and 16 y.o. I deserve to be happy. ANYONE deserves to be happy and to love life to the fullest and BE loved. I pray for that for myself and others while listening to this meditation. 🙏💕

    Being able to go back to the past and then look at the present with the realization that for the universe you are still just a child, it allows you to have more self-compassion with who you are being in the present moment, on your journey. This exercise helps you to free yourself from self-judgments. Thank you!

    I appreciate that your voice is not precious, breathy and cloying, like many meditation guides. So helpful for me to hear a kind and clear but matter-of-fact voice. With the typical meditation voice I feel a bit manipulated, and generally choose to go without a guide for this reason. Thank you.

    I realized that the reason I love myself is the same reason I love places in my past - not for any particular quality, but because I have experienced those places and lived with them.
    I can’t think of any particular quality about myself that I love in and of itself… I love myself because through everything, my one companion, my one witness, has been me.

    I've been meditating for about four months now and practice self awareness and mindfulness. Tbh it has helped me so much I find it hard to explain. This was extremely powerful as I didn't see my self shine at any age except now. The part when you see yourself as you are today but with yourself as a child, I held my younger selves hand and said to him, it wasn't your fault. That made me cry. Thanks for this meditation it was very vivid. ❤️

  • @mindfulnessasia1082

    Interesting video.
    In this connection we would like to share the story of Nigerian billionaire Femi Otedola. He has had vast wealth through businesses in the oil, gas and shipping industries. In his words, “I have gone through four stages of happiness in life and finally I understood the meaning of true happiness. The first stage was to accumulate wealth and means. But at this stage, I did not get the happiness I wanted.”“Then came the second stage of collecting valuables and items. But I realized that the effect of this thing is also temporary and the luster of valuable things does not last long. Then came the third stage of getting big projects. That was when I was holding 95% of the diesel supply in Nigeria and Africa. I was also the largest vessel owner in Africa and Asia. But even here I did not get the happiness I had imagined.”“The fourth stage was the time a friend of mine asked me to buy a wheelchair for some disabled children. Just about 200 kids. At the friend’s request, I immediately bought the wheelchairs. But the friend insisted that I go with him and hand over the wheelchairs to the children. I got ready and went with him.”“There I gave these wheelchairs to these children with my own hands. I saw the strange glow of happiness on the faces of these children. I saw them all sitting on the wheelchairs, moving around, and having fun. It was as if they had arrived at a picnic spot where they are sharing a jackpot winning.”“I felt real joy inside me. When I decided to leave one of the kids grabbed my legs. I tried to free my legs gently but the child stared at my face and held my legs tightly. I bent down and asked the child: Do you need something else? The answer this child gave me not only made me happy but also changed my attitude to life completely.”This child said: “I want to remember your face so that when I meet you in heaven, I will be able to recognize you and thank you once again.”This is quite a revelation. Here is someone who is able to enjoy anything possible here in this world. All kinds of properties, travel, luxuries, fame, power and so on. And yet his happiest experience came from a time when he showed compassion and kindness to some handicapped children. The happiness he experienced is a spiritual type of happiness. This is much deeper than material pleasures because it directly touches the soul. And the happiness he experienced is just the beginning. There is so much more anyone will experience as they make their whole life centered around pleasing the Supreme Lord.

    I actually recommend WildMind’s website (www.wildmind.org/metta/introduction) for a good list of advice on how to deepen your lovingkindness meditation practice, as much as other meditation practices also. I’ve meditated for years and have read a lot of different websites, and WildMind is one of the best on written descriptions on metta meditation. So if you’re stuck or want to know the common traps on this path, check out WildMind.
