The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 152

Good morning everyone and welcome once again to Ballinwillin House Farm and gardens on day 47 out of lock down. Today I am going to repeat an exercise I practice sometimes and that has been a wonderful calming influence on my life at Ballinwillin House Farm and gardens and now especially during Covid19 that is snapping at our heels all the time. Firstly take a deep breath and sit in an upright and comfortable position and close your eyes if you wish to do so. Then slowly whisper to yourself saying “may we be well, may we be happy, may we be free from suffering”, then call to mind somebody else you really care for and about. Bring them into your circle and always remembering to include yourself, only if you wish, and any others you wish to include. I find this a very gratifying and mindful exercise and as you continue to practice this exercise over time you will find yourself become more complete and full as a person and you will also find people will be drawn into your spiritual circle and will be doing to same for you and leading you further into a happy and peaceful “now”. continue to pray, bless and send healing to each other and remember mindfulness is an all day, everyday beautiful way of life and don’t forget to wear your beautiful smile.
