Mini Meditation - Neohumanism


Neohumanism - humanism that gives respect AND support to all life. Basically, once our basic needs are met as humans, we can turn our hearts towards helping one another; benefit others by being compassionate. What we may find as we begin to support the growth and health of our neighbors, is that by helping one, you can also help many.

For example, say you cut your neighbor's grass for them because you knew they were having a hectic week at work. They are now more relaxed knowing that the yard-work has been done. Now they can enjoy time with their children instead of a loud machine. The childrens' lives are more enriched for having more time with their parent....

Thus, when we act with the intent of compassion, we promote health, love, and life in others.

When you have a moment to meditate, think about the kindness that you have received, of the things you are thankful for...then ask yourself if you can help others to have the same kindness in their lives. You may find that it may be a simple gesture, one that can make a wonderful difference.
