Opening to pleasant experiences
We can always find something pleasant in our experience. This is something that my meditation teacher told me and that I love to explore and be curious around. Whilst sat in a hospital waiting room last week I chose to explore this further. At first it seemed there wasn’t anything pleasant but as I began to first settle my mind by focusing on my breath I then expanded my awareness outwards to see if there was anything pleasant. And there was...my hands were resting on my lap, I felt a warmth and a comforting sense of connection. The sense of my jumper resting on my skin felt soft. I exchanged a few smiles with passers by and I felt a sense of common humanity. So often we miss the small pleasant experiences and yet there they are just waiting to help us feel more calm and happy.
Enjoy my meditation and explore what pleasant experiences are arising in your awareness...you may be surprised ☺️❤️
