I keep stumbling upon the word generous and I began to want to cultivate a deeper understanding of the definition.
Generous is defined as characterized by a noble or kindly spirit; liberal in giving ; marked by abundance.
Recently during my times of walking or while spending time on the mat, I have been really looking at how generosity shows up in my life and how I can continue to bring awareness from the inward grasping of obtaining to an outward flow of giving.
If I am generous with my faith, there is no space for fear.
If I am generous with my love, there is no space for separation.
If I am generous with my money, there is no space for lack.
If I am generous with my presence, there is no space for distance.
If I am generous with my listening, there is no space for indifference.
If I am generous with my attentiveness, there is no space neglect.
If I am generous with my understanding, there is no space for ignorance.
If I am generous with my compassion, there is no space for judgment.
If I am generous with my patience, there is no space for frustration.
If I am generous with my time, there is no space for feeling overwhelmed.
If I am generous with my health, there is no space for illness.
If I am generous with my light, there is no space for dark.
Going into a much deeper level of the understanding of generous feels so free to be no longer in the mind-set of obtaining, but instead an outward flow of bestowing. My abundance allows and permits me to be generous.
How wonderfully simple.
