Hello, Thank you in advance for any thoughtful responses. And a thank you for the online course.
My question pertains to the suggested mediation where we are encouraged to visualize the people in our life. The people we love, the people we are agitated by, and the people we treat as insignificant and so forth.
We are instructed to visualize them in the room with me when I am meditating.
?. How should I visualize them? 1. As they are also mediating, sitting, eyes closed , in the room with me? Or 2. should I visualize them all looking at me? Whereby I am the center of attention, and I am the only one meditating?,
If it is the first option, should I assume they know I am there?
I find my motivation swings broadly when I am the only one mediating, and they "see me". I do sense broad compassion, and responsibility for everyone's happiness.
When I just see myself as one of many sitting in a room mediating with people who agitate me, but are just there by circumstance, I feel less compassion.
Thank you.
