Module Five

Kindness

Learn to relinquish judgment towards yourself, others and life, releasing resistance and allowing greater harmony. Sense your oneness with all others and allow kindness to open your heart.

How to complete this module:

  • Watch the video ‘Kindness.’

  • Continue to use the 30-minute meditation (with your favourite affirmation) and/or grounding exercise in your day-to-day practice.

  • Use the gatha, ‘A lotus for you, a Buddha to be’ or your variation thereof, when greeting people.

  • Be kind to yourself.

Please note there is no right or wrong way to complete this course. We do not guarantee overnight night success, rather, we aim to pass on foundational skills that will help bolster you as you move forward in life. We encourage you to make this course work for you! You may alter timeframes, tools and exercises to suit your needs. If, however, you are unsure at any stage, please feel free to send Rachel a message.

Meditation

This is a guided meditation and has space for you to apply your affirmation(s). The meditation lasts for 30 minutes, so set aside some time in a quiet, comfortable place where you will not be disturbed. Choose a position that suits you, whether sitting or lying down and close your eyes. You may want to use a blanket to stay warm and it's recommended to use earphones for the best experience.

Feel free to use this meditation as often as you like! We suggest incorporating it into your daily routine (in conjunction with the grounding exercise if you would like).

Tip: You can download the meditation for offline use or on other devices.

Grounding Exercise

Feel free to continue with the grounding exercise if you wish. You might find the 30-minute guided meditation sufficient, or you may prefer to incorporate both meditations into your daily routine.

Homework

  • Continue to use the 30-minute meditation, incorporating your favourite affirmation. Do this daily, if possible.

  • Use the gathha, ‘A lotus for you, a Buddha to be’ or your variation thereof, when greeting people.

  • An alternative to the gatha might be: ‘I offer peace and acknowledge your divinity.’

Things to Remember…

Allow kindness to flow into your life from presence, not from a need to feel better or to enhance your sense of self.

Use the gatha (or your version of it) silently. Over time this will become an energy, instead of words.

Kindness naturally arises out of presence.

Be kind to yourself!
