As our community members support their families, we are called upon to help with practices regarding both life and death. I lead my class in a life and death meditation yesterday, which I learned from Shahabadeen, a Sufi mystic. Since learning the practice in 2007, it has been a part of my morning ritual.
The students responded well to the practice. The soul deserves such kindness as preparing for the eventuality for oneself. It brings peace to those who comfort others as well.
Are you willing to practice such kindness? Can you sit with one who is transitioning and offer comfort? Ki to Happiness loves life even as deaths loom.
