‘Cultivating the Heart Qualities’ series begins Monday online
Loving-kindness, compassion, joy and equanimity. These four qualities are used as tools to cultivate a mind and heart of ease and wellbeing that benefits not only oneself but all of those around us.
Today, contemporary research studies are showing that practicing these qualities on a daily basis “increases one’s positive emotions and one’s degree of satisfaction with existence. The subjects feel more joy, kindness, gratitude, hope and enthusiasm, and the longer their training was, the more marked were the positive effects” (Journal of Personality and Social Psychology).
A seven-session series on the topic begins on Monday, Jan. 9, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. and runs through April 3. The class meets online the second and fourth Monday of the month.
