Meditation of the heart

In meditation, a key subject of practice is to learn to listen to the heart and build strength that makes it possible to hold information and feelings inside. We can call this practice taming the heart, and it enables us to use it as a tool in our everyday life. (It is good to acknowledge that when we know the principles, meditation can be practiced anywhere, many a situation, any stance of the body.)

No pain in heart never killed nobody. As long as we do the right thing, it will be possible to live with our heart in all circumstances. This enables us to identify and work with events around us truthfully, without having to suffer from unhealthy pain in the heart, and without projecting it to an untrue source. We can also learn to program our feelings with music or other means, for example by interacting with other people in peace. Adopting this all is a good path to lasting happiness.

While walking this path, it may become important to realize that expectations of other people bring no obligation of action for us. Our own deed of common good should be our principal guide in all life. We should never feel to be obliged to do wrong against a person, be they present or not, in the name of love or good will. There is no grand plan that would entitle us to do wrong, bringing justification to an ill deed.

Anything that may happen to us can have a lesson if we prepare ourselves to see it. We can aim at growth of our being every day, every situation, also balancing our past of ill knowledge. When we have knowledge on true transparency, it is up to us to decide about our future - in respect, love, and peace of mind.
