the practice can be very pleasant. Breathing in and
bringing your mind home to your body can be a very
pleasant thing to do. You enjoy your in-breath you enjoy
your body and you enjoy your mind. Then the mantra
will have an effect on those around you too.
you don need to wait for the practice to be reciprocated.
The other person doesn t need to say anything
in return. When you produce the mantra both of you
benefit. The mantra helps you and the other person come
home to yourselves and to the moment you are sharing
so the effect is double.
we say that love is based on understanding But how
can you to be in the here and the now before you can
love. so the first definition of love is to be there. How can
you love if you are not there? To love you have to be there.
The tree outside your window is there supporting you.
You can be there for yourself and for your loved ones just
like the tree. Mindfulness practice is the foundation of
your love.you cannot love properly and deeply and deeply without
mindfulness.
Although you re saying I am here for you the other
person doesn t have to be there for you to practice the
first mantra.If the other person is at home or at work
you can use the phone.As you hold the phone in your
hand breathe in and out a few times to make yourself
present and calm.When you hear the phone ringing you
can continue your mindful breathing. when the other
person picks up the phone you can ask if he or she has
a moment. If so you can just say: I am Here for you .If
you have practiced mindful breathing the way you say
the mantra will convey your and your presence.
