You could notice a desire to interact with others in a more thoughtful way today. Your heart may be open to the problems and troubles people encounter and you may want to find greater ways to support them. This would be a wonderful opportunity to develop your capacity to see the universal beauty in everyone you meet. You could do this by imagining that all the people you come in contact with have a shimmering golden light emanating from their heart center. Notice how this light brightens and radiates further the longer you look at each person. As you picture the light enveloping the person, you can think about the universal connection our spirits all have. Seeing others in this way might make it easier to treat them with kindness.

Picturing the beauty in people is a powerful way to develop our compassion. It is more difficult to demonstrate kindness to others if we view them as being distinct from us. By making the effort to see that every one of us possess beauty within, however, it becomes easier to give to other people. We see that we are all connected by the energy of our spirits, and our sense of separation dissolves. We become more thoughtful in our actions, because we begin to recognize that by treating others with kindness, we are doing the same for ourselves—it is a shared relationship. By allowing yourself to see the beauty in the people you meet, you will spread an unlimited amount of kindness to others.
