Encourage the good will to radiate outward in all directions
— in front of and behind you, above and below you, right and left. Also, direct your
good will to flow through you when you sense it well. Let good will fill your mind and
chest, your whole body. Perhaps thoughts of things you don't like about yourself float
into your awareness. Let go of them. You can work on your shortcomings with greater
insight after meditation. For the present, have good will for yourself as well as
others.At this point, the main phase of your meditation begins. Bring your meditation
object, now, into your meditation — either the word or words you choose to say, or
your heart center, your third eye, the picture before you, or the visualization in front
of your mind. All you have to do is simply hold your meditation object in your
awareness and direct your good will to it. Let your good will pervade the
meditation object. Let good will saturate it. Fill your meditation object with the light
of your love, with the light of your thoughtfulness.
Don't strain, don't try too hard. Maintain your good will even if your concentration or
your meditation object flies away at times. Maintain your good will and patiently continue
gathering and focusing your good will on your meditation object. Enjoy this. Let your good
will develop. It will become progressively stronger with regular practice. Let your
applied good will flow easily and naturally into your meditation object, or person.
Now you know how to do it.
