A statue stands outdoors during the rain and snow. It receives scorching sun and sometimes bird droppings. Yet it remains unmoved. Although an inanimate object, it serves as an inspiration for me. Many things happen around me. The weather changes, the mood changes and sometimes I receive insults and grievances. Can I remain unmoved by these external changes? Can I hold my inner posture of dignity through all emotional weather? I practice maintaining equanimity in the face of pleasant and unpleasant circumstances. Today let me remain stable in my inner dignity ~ independent of external changes.

"Music acts like a magic key, to which the most tightly closed heart opens." Maria von Trapp

Many hearts today are locked in fear. Some find safety by hiding in a well developed intellectual framework. I discover eventually that critical analysis and deep thinking do not melt my heart. Only love, gentleness, sincerity and purity can open the lock on my heart. I reflect on the times when my heart has melted and I was able to enjoy my heart opening. What is it that opens my heart? Today let me give myself the gift of a key to open my heart.

It is not an act of courage to be cooperative with those who are already cooperative with me. Courage is required in my challenging relationships. I wan to create cooperation where there is resistance. I begin by examining my attitude towards the other person and transform any negativity I find in myself. I open my mind and create genuine positive thoughts about the other. This cooperation of a positive attitude is felt by them. I keep myself stable in this positive attitude, and use my courage to face and dissolve negativity in me if it arises. Over time, resistance turns to cooperation. Today let me have the courage to open new pathways to coooperation.

There once was a powerful yogi meditating under a tree. A bird sat on a branch above him. At one point a bird dropping landed on the yogi's head. The yogi looked up with anger and the bird dropped to the ground dead.
Never underestimate the power of an angry thought. Meditators accumulate spiritual power, which they intend to use for peace and harmony in the world. One focused negative thought ~ of anger, frustration or irration ~ can harm another person quite deeply. This is the opposite of how I want to use the power of my mind. Today let me use the power in my thoughts with great care.

Raise your vibrations not your voice. It is rain that grows flowers not thunder. Gentleness opens hearts more than anger will. A heart must be opened for the mind to consider something new. Today let me speak gently and open hearts to newness.
