Question | Answer |
---|---|
What are the five ways of increasing kindness? | Reflection, Visualization, Auditory, Music, Behavioral |
Reflection | Reflect on the positive qualities of a person and the acts of kindness they have done. Reflect on all the ways that you can act in kind ways towards them or yourself. Not a formal meditation, but can be done anytime. |
Visualization | Brinf up a mental picture. See yourself or the person smileing back at you or just being content and happy. Use pics of the person or grp and think about some of the good things happening to them that you think they want. |
Auditory | This is the simplest way but one of the most effective. Repeat a phrase such as, "I wish all love and kindness" to -name tht person. This fits with the theory that what u want has an influence in increasing it. "Change talk" in alcohol&substance abuse tx. |
Music | Listening to, remembering & trying to live out the messgs of songs. Songs that go beyond romance to love in the sence of compassion or agape. ex. You got a friend, imagine, Lean on me,The wind beneath my wings. Bridge over troubled waters. |
Behavioral | This may be the most powerful and effective. Do something kind for the person as an experiment. See how the behave torwards you and how your feelings change. |
