Kindness Matters #whatsongoldcoast4221

Kindness
Manifests in many ways. As you may know we do a lot of work on the spiritual level by sharing the transcendental practice of sacred sound meditation with all those who are seeking a deeper purpose in life.  This includes working on all levels for the ultimate good of all sentient beings. There are many ways a person can express kindness in their daily lives and we have listed a few ideas below.

Five Ways to be Kind

Here are five ways to demonstrate your kindness and to contribute to building a more caring, compassionate community:

1.     Give

*Share your good fortune by donating to a charity, but remember that many charities need more than money. 

*Donate blood.

*Donate your clothing, house-wares or furniture.

*Bring your gently used toys to shelters for abused women and their children. 

*Or bring the toiletries you collect from hotel stays to local shelters for the poor or homeless.

2.     Volunteer

Volunteer your time, energy and talents to help a worthy cause. The practice of Karma yoga is an ancient practice and is part of the timeless Yoga system. 

3.     Say thanks

Take the time to say thanks to the people who help you every day – from the bus drivers who take you to and from work, to the shop assistants and restaurant staff who serve you, to the police officers and security guards who strive to keep you safe and free from harm. And the next time someone opens the door for you, helps you carry your bags, or does anything extra special for you, express your appreciation.

4.     Celebrate kindness

There are countless people in our community who are kind everyday:  Nurses, doctors, hospital workers, home health providers and the relatives and neighbours who care for others at home or close to home.  Acknowledge their kindness.  Tell them you value their generosity and caring.  They deserve the recognition.

5.     Pay it Forward

The next time someone is kind to you, make a conscious effort to pay that kindness forward by being kind to another person.  That way, you multiply the impact of kindness.  You feel good, you help another person feel good and you make a positive difference in the daily life of your community.
