This meditation is best done in a busy, active place with many people coming and going. A mall is ideal as is a busy airport terminal or even a hospital or doctor's waiting room.
- Enter this public space mindfully.
- Find a place where you can sit and observe (not stare).
- Look around at the people walking by.
- Begin to imagine and understand that many of them feel fearful, anxious, lonely, abandoned.
- Some may even be dealing with serious health issues.
- Build a sense of connection with these strangers by reminding yourself: We are part of a common humanity. We are in this together. We share similar hopes and dreams, fears and anxieties. We are more alike than we are different.
- Conclude by sending this blessing to the strangers walking by you: May you be well. May you be peaceful. May you feel loved. May you feel safe and secure.
