Sahaja Posted October 22 Used to do a metta practice when I worked in the corporate world and found it to be an impactful practice. This world had stress/negativity built in and my job was to help manage/ameliorate/direct behavior across the organization, sort of a double-whammy. I got a lot out of it for managing my own response particularly to the most difficult people and situations, so my counsel would be to include them not avoid them. The process was the simple stepping out easiest to hardest to show loving kindness to that I would do before I started my day and as needed. The practice outcome had two components, how I felt in the moment of the practice and a heightened awareness during my day. Can’t say it turned me into a wonderful person, but I think it helped me find a better balance. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With softness and helping develop song too right? I had to read you several times before I got it! Yes, defensive would be a yin activity, but, the goal is the balance, relaxation and love even while being required to be aggressive. We won't always get it right, but, the trying saves our humanity.
