If you've been visiting Twisty Lane for any length of time,
you know I always wish YOU well and much joy.
It is part of my Metta Prayer and meditation
to wish myself, those I love and all those living on this earth
a good day!
Every now and then I receive something in my email or
I find something on FaceBook that I think is worth sharing.
This is from the Elephant Journal and written by Michelle Margaret Fajkus.
May has 31 days and here are 31 daily aspirations to guide your
Metta meditation practice for the month.
Open your heart and join me!

These are all lovely. I think I will join you!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Snap. I have been reading your posts for a long time and always find something beautiful. Today's post is a gift - thank you.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I have heard of this- but I think daily affirmations are a wonderful way to set your mind and heart at peace each morning. Have a super day!
ReplyDeleteHeh heh totally love the last one, ;-P
ReplyDeleteSincerely though - this is a wonderful post, thank you for taking the time to share it with us.
May you be at peace always.
Your friend, Michele
Lovely meditations and the 4th be with you too! xox
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful! Thanks for sharing. I need to print this and put it by my nightstand. Two years ago I had a daily devotional book. I enjoyed the content and messages, but the daily readings were a bit too long. These are just perfect. It's so important to start the day with tranquility and purpose.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely week! ~Nora
I say a similar loving kindness mantra daily. It is a way of centering and connecting. It always makes me feel calm. I wish the same for you, Snap.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely fabulous - something we might all consider.
