It's easy to forget the simple joy in wishing another person well, and hoping for the same for ourselves - we get lost in stories of how it could be better, or we could be better, and forget the simple joy available to us in spreading well-wishing around us.

Just because I'm feeling good doesn't mean I shouldn't meditate
I woke up happy this morning, which is a blessing and I'm grateful but I found myself trying to then justify not meditating. It is not the purpose of meditation to make you happy when you are sad, it is definitely a part of it but not the reason. I struggle with self-critiquing and meditation is teaching me to acknowledge that to be present, I must let go of perceptions Im stacking upon my self and just allow time to fill each moment. I am enough right now.

My friend
I thought for this exercise is an akin soul I was with yesterday. What a wonderful sensation it is to share similar worldviews, sensations, experiences and feelings! I had a wonderful dream last night, and my energy is replenished today. I want to cultivate this friendship as a beautiful and rare flower that I want to keep alive forever.

Easy
I learned that wishing someone well is just that easy. No ill intentions, no anger, no expectations, no baggage of past arguments. This person brings a smile to your face - be a better person and bring a smile back to the person's face. Only kindness and gratefulness.

This is one of my favorite meditations for the morning. Wishing someone well just makes you have more kindness in your heart that you can feel.

My boyfriend and I have been in a rocky place and this just made me realize how much I truly adore him. After I did this, we talked it out in a nice, calm manner and we’re sooo much better. It’s nice to wish well for others

Ex
It’s been almost a year since i broke up with my ex we’ve never talked since then. But doing this exercise, i chose to think about her and wish her well. Even though we both moved on i still hope to be good friends with her in the future and hope she will continue to succeed in her own life.

Wishing others well
As I expanded this meditation out beyond my personal friend circle to include people I don’t actually like and then I continued until I visualized all people and wished them well. When I did this I felt a release within myself and a renewed sense of well-being.

Repetition
Repeating “may you be well, may you be happy” will echo in my thoughts today after sitting in those words for a little bit. Hoping that they come to mind when I’m encountering others and I can radiate good vibes onto them.

wishing well
I never realized the power that well wishing truly has but as I imagined my last visit with Janey my heart felt so happy, and so at peace picturing myself back with her experiencing such happy moments. I will definitely use this again if i'm needing to escape and be reminded of a happy place I hold in my heart. ❤️

I learned that I should wish my good fortune onto others. This practice touched me because a colleague of mine just left her position yesterday so that she can focus on a passion project that she built a business around. I truly wish her all the best and happiness.

First Time
I learned that it can be really relaxing and helpful to listen to that but I was to distracted in that moment maybe that was why I was feeling a bit uncomfortable. I will definetely try it again.

Letting your mind do what it wants
I learned that there is a consciousness below my perceived consciousness - and these meditations are making me more aware of it. I started this meditation with a specific person in mind to wish well, and once it got going I found myself thinking of someone close to me that I have not spoken to in too long. My deeper consciousness reminded me to wish well to those I haven’t thought of in too long a time :)

Mindfulness- anxiety
I need to take time for myself or lay down and breathe and imagine me and the person I feel connected with stress or anxiety and imagine that we are happy and things will get better and to wish them to be well and to know that I will be ok

This is a good practice for positivity as well as a peaceful morning. I can always wish someone well even if I have not been able to speak to them or feel disconnected from them. It is also good to reconnect with myself in this way daily.

Amazing how easy it can be to just take a few minutes to wish someone well & truly focus on putting the positive energy out there....yet we get caught up in our own busy schedules, anxious thoughts, etc. and forget to take this beautiful opportunity.

Wondering if the person you are sending well wishes to can actually feel it. I want him to really be well, to love himself enough to walk away from what is not serving him, to be genuinely happy.

Easiest of choices
Of course I chose to bless my beautiful loving wife, Jill, with my thoughts for wellness and happiness! After all, it IS her birthday today! As she lies here behind me in our bed I reached my thoughts out to her...as I have all day long! Treated her to a wonderful dinner out with our children and her patents tonight, wrapping up with a beautiful California Central Coast sunset!

An easy mantra that benefits others and yourself. l don't see myself approaching anyone with this, there is a time/place as well as an unspoken greeting.

Are the family we choose. A gentle smile came to my face as I thought about my best friend. She has seen me at my best. Loved me through the worst. We always seem to pick up where we left off without missing a beat. So much love.

Wishing well for yourself and your friends
I learned that it’s important to wish well for ourselves and the important people in our lives. My family and friends mean so much to me and especially my best friend Morgan. She’s been with me through it all. All of my seasons of life and she’s seen the bad the good and the hurt I’ve had. She knows me better then anyone else. I call us soul sisters cause she truly knows me like the back of her hand and same with me with her! I am so grateful for a friendship like ours. I also thought of my husband and our marriage. Right now we’re not doing so well, we’re struggling so much.. so I spent a little extra time wishing well on him and us. I found this very important given the circumstances him and I are facing! I put my selfish feelings aside and figured it is important to do this even when we aren’t having the best feelings toward someone and still wishing them and us together well. This really helped and I will be practicing this more often! Great start to my Sunday ❤️🙏🏼

wishing well
it really made me sad on how often I talk and I talk to forget about my surroundings, to not see positivity and truth. I don't just wish no one well sometimes, I forget that there is well. maybe someday this will help. it's not helping now, for all I know. it makes me sad. soon things may be better. maybe later.

Winding down from a long day, this was a nice way to end it! I wish everyone well as were coming off of holidays and times where you might be forced to interact with someone you don’t want to. This was great. Put me to sleep! Goodnight. I wish you all well❤️✔️💓

Hard
The practice was difficult for me. I am going through a very rough time in my life and as I wished for wellness an happiness for my dear friend it was sincere, but I also considered that there isn’t anyone out there who is vested in my own wellness and happiness. When I wished us both happiness, I was pleading with the universe for this to be. And now I am sad. Things I must confront and move through. Hard but necessary.

Treating people with kindness
In today’s lesson I learned that it is important to wish people well instead of being jealous or wishing them badly whenever something goes good with them always pick being supportive and kind rather than not supporting them and being mean spirited about it

Wishing you and others well
I learned that wishing others and yourself well is a powerful thing. Even if you wish them well in your head, it allows you to become comfortable with sending out consistent positive energy. If you go around in life wishing others well I believe subconsciously you believe others are doing the same; wishing you well silently. Therefore, on most days and at the very least, it will create peace wherever you go. I also learned that wishing someone you love well and happiness is a great stepping stone to wishing yourself the same message. I often put myself behind others, so this message is powerful.

It was lovely to start the day in this beautiful way, with positivity. I’m going to do this daily in addition to a prayer of thanks, instead of what I realize I’ve been doing lately- mentally running through my To-Do list!
