I'm curious if someone is feeling anger, unfairness, or any emotion around ill will about something that's happened to them and they feel this is unfair and they have this anger or defensiveness. You talked about the breathing. What is the intention that they can think of during those moments? 60 seconds, 10 minutes, however long it takes to go beyond it.
This is sometimes what people then refer to as a mantra can be helpful. So especially in such moments, you have something you always tell to yourself, continuously repeat. And now these can be different things. If you merge together the thought they don't know better, together with the cultivation of a hard quality of compassion inside of you, then I think even this thought together with that heart quality and the breath has a very powerful impact. So that means this is why it's helpful to really from time to time make clear to yourself again. So the greatest love you have ever felt in this lifetime, how did it feel? How does it feel? So if somebody would ask you nowadays, when was the moment you really felt love? Well, first of all, you can't make it on the go. Second of all, even probably people nowadays are ashamed of even getting into this state of being while other people are watching around. This is why you need to do these practices alone where nobody is watching you and where are you sure you are only with yourself. And there what you do, you start to travel. You travel into the world of your memories and you travel into everything that you are still able to recall in your mind. Recall the situation where you think, this was the greatest feeling I have ever felt when I hear about that word love. And after you have this feeling now you ask yourself if something like this is existing and you would have the chance that the people in this world can choose in which state of being would you yourself personally would like to live? And what would you wish the others to live in? I think you will only, if you are intelligent, will will only come up with one answer which is for all of them. And this is the reason why out of that loving feeling arises then what we call compassion.
