So here's an exercise of loving-kindness meditation. I'd like to give you this meditation. Give it about 20 minutes or so beginning just as you would with some breathing exercise or some other type of meditation. First of all, find a comfortable place to sit, either on a chair or on the floor. Close your eyes. Take a few moments to just be, just noticing the sounds, smells, and feelings, allowing yourself to settle down, turning your attention to your breathing. Notice the way your body automatically and effortlessly inhales and exhales. Don't try to manipulate your breath in any way. Notice the feeling of air moving in and out of the nose and the easy, natural way that your body moves. Imagine yourself in a beautiful place. As you continue breathing in and out, say to yourself, "May I be happy and free of suffering." Next, imagine a new person entering your beautiful place. This is a person you care for a great deal. Again, as you continue breathing in and out, say to yourself, "May you be happy and free of suffering." Now move to another person entering your beautiful place. This is a person who provokes no feeling of like or dislike, a neutral person. It could be a bank teller or a waitress you recently interacted with. As you continue breathing in and out, say to yourself, "May you be happy and free of suffering." Now move to another person, a person who provokes feelings of dislike. Again, as you continue breathing in and out, say to yourself, "May you be happy and free of suffering." Now if you have a very difficult time doing this with a person you very much dislike or are having a hard time with, you can turn this person into a childlike version of themselves. Finally, extend these feelings of love and kindness to the world, to all living beings. Bring them into your special place, and say to yourself," May all beings be happy and free of suffering." Take a minute or so with your eyes shut before going back to your daily routine. So as we just talked about, loving-kindness meditation has been shown to improve people's purpose in life. It's been shown to improve people's well-being, but as we'll talk about later in this class, it's even been shown to repair your DNA. Now if you're using the purposeful application, there's actually the entire loving-kindness meditation in a tape that you can listen to anytime you want. You can put it into a habit building strategy where every single day, it can remind you and provide the loving-kindness meditation for you, and it can be as little as five minutes. It can be 20 minutes as long as you really like. So the aims of week 1, just to summarize, are to understand a definition of purpose in life and we've also talked about components of purpose in life, such as being purposeful and self-affirmation. We also talked about some of the central components of purpose in life as they related to philosophical themes. Then finally, we talked about neural activation of some of these central components.
