Loving heart = happy mind

Loving kindness, we should do this everyday. By thinking of others we are helping ourselves to live longer and be happier. The idea is to set all of your own thoughts and feelings aside for a bit and put forth all of your healing energy into your thoughts for a loved one or someone who truly needs your positive emotions. Much like prayer. While the subtle mind technique requires a different type of thinking, one that puts your emotions first, because how can you have positive thoughts for someone else' well being if you are not well yourself. Both of these techniques require a  quiet environment and lots of breathing. It would be easy to do this had I had the quiet environment. I have know and believed in the power of thought for a long time. I have always believed in the power of positive thinking even though sometimes that seems hard to reach. In a world where all we see and hear about is violence we could all benefit from a world wide day of meditation or prayer. Everyday our spiritual, mental and physical well beings are being tested, they are all links in a chain and if one is not complete then the chain falls apart.
