    Aim:

    To keep mind serene and balanced


    then you can achieve any thing
    - deep breathing helps
    - attention to breath - calms you down

    Qualities to be cultivated to help in the process of keeping the mind serene


    maitri karuna mudita upekshanam
    sukha dukha punya apunya vishayanam
    bhavanatash citta prasadanam
    -Sutra I.33, The Yoga Sutra of Patanjali

    Through cultivation of friendliness (loving-kindness), compassion, joy and equanimity, in relationship


    to pleasure, pain, virtue and vice, respectively, mind becomes favourably disposed, serene and benevolent

    pleasure sukha Maitri -Friendliness


    the intention and capacity to offer joy and happiness with loving kindness
    Love brings us joy and well-being.
    wonderful source of energy, nurturing the unconditional love that does not expect anything in return

    pain Dukha Karuna - Compassion


    not out of superiority but out of clarity, calmness and the resultant strength
    looking with the eyes of compassion and listening deeply
    We need to be aware of the suffering, but retain our clarity, calmness, and strength so we can help

    virtue Punya Mudita - Happy


    to counter jealousy - I am happy that the other person is so good ; a joy that is filled with peace and contentment
    We rejoice when we see others happy, but we rejoice in our own wellbeing as well.
    How can we feel joy for another person when we do not feel joy for ourselves? Joy is for everyone.

    vice Papa Upeksha- Indifference

    equanimity, nonattachment, nondiscrimination, even- mindedness, or letting go.

    Helpful slokas from Bagavad Gita

    He who hates no being, Friendly and compassionate, Free from attachment to possessions, free from egotism, Indifferent to pain
    and pleasure, patient,

    the yogin who is always contented and balanced in mind, Who is self-controlled, and whose conviction is firm, Whose mind and
    intellect are fixed on Me, And who is devoted to Me, is dear to Me.
    Gita -chapter 12 slokas 13&14

    He from whom the world does not shrink, And who does not shrink from the world, Who is freed from joy, envy, fear, and distress,
    Is dear to Me
    Gita -chapter 12 sloka 15
