We all know how the mood of one person can create an atmosphere that affects the whole room. When we are experiencing our goodness, we share it with those we live, work and interact with; this is logical. This also allows others to be just the way they are.
Nourishing abundance
By learning to meditate we are developing a beautiful relationship with ourselves. Having good wishes for the self in silence, we build our self-love. Authenticity and kindness flow. Love for, and friendship with ourselves, brings a natural love and friendship with others – even those I may not like so much!
Natural friendship
Isn’t an easy friendship more valuable than a diamond? When there is empathy, trust and care we naturally give and with this enjoy and appreciate relationships. Taking just-a-minute we can tap into our natural generosity which brings an abundance of goodness into our lives.
j-a-m practice: An act of kindness
Wherever we are and whatever we’re doing, taking just-a-minute to remember the best in ourselves and see the best in those around me naturally creates a peaceful and generous atmosphere. Acceptance, mutual respect, cooperation and contentment grow and see how kindness flourishes in every area of life!

Taking just a minuteI reflect onthe beauty of generosity.I rememberthe silent Majestyof a Tree.Its branches,a haven for the birds,its shade so welcomein the summer sun,its fruit so refreshing,its seeds provide for future generations.It always stands silent;its roots, invisible,gather nourishmentfor its gifts to Humanity.My roots,of thoughts, attitudes and feelings,when selfless,offer priceless gifts to others. -

Taking just a minuteI quietly watchthe amber sunlight,awaken the eyes from sleep,emerge the flower from its seed,blanket the earth with warmth.According to time and need,it does what it has to dowith care,in quietness,generouslysharing all of itselfto allow others to be.When I am true to myself,when I have that completeness,that contentment within,I can be like sunlightsharing and givingwithout wanting or taking. -
