As retreat comes to an end, consider the cooperative boundaries that allow Dhamma to flourish. Establish reasonable boundaries related to behavior, moral integrity, restraint. Remember that bhāvanā is more than meditation, cultivate throughout the day. Restore the source of energy, know its boundaries.

The beauty of chanting is you feel it in your heart and body, giving words another dimension. It’s not just the abstract chattering of an isolated head that doesn’t feel what it’s talking about.

2017-12-28 Meditation: Loving Kindness for Ourselves 39:00

In this meditation, we begin by visualizing benefactors offering us kindness, care and acceptance. We practice to truly let this in, and fill our bodies and minds. Then we begin to generate it for ourselves. (Gratitude to John Makransky for inspiration from his "Receiving the Healing, Liberating Power of Love" meditation.)
