Cup of Kindness
“Kindness is a language the blind can see and the deaf can hear.”
Kindness is a wonderful thing we could all do with from time to time. Kindness is a gift from one person to another. Kindness touches the human spirit with generosity and appreciation. Kindness is a vibrational shape-shifter; a feel-good factor that heals dented moments and brightens a stranger’s day, Kindness is transformational. It costs nothing but consideration and generosity of spirit.
WORDS OF KINDNESS CARRY THE ENERGY OF LOVE.
Kind words touch lonely hearts and warm sad ones; they comfort a friend and sooth the needy. Angels speak to the soul in this way – they come with the vibration of compassion and understanding. This initiates an internal response in us – a ripple effect in our heart-mind consciousness, our lives, our relationships.
THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE UGLY.
Some powerfully provocative crystal research work exists – by the Japanese Nobel prize winner Dr. Masaru Emoto – about the extraordinarily demonstrable resonance words, intentions and music have on the molecular structure and appearance of water crystals. How their individuality and beauty is impacted upon – for better or worse – by the influence of constructive or destructive word vibrations. The implications are immense. . Just think of the correspondence: both humans and the planet are largely composed of water! Check it out here …
YOUR CUP OF KINDNESS
Each new year, at the stroke of midnight my family always bids farewell to the old and welcomes in the new with a Scottish ‘Cup of Kindness’ – that tradition of crossing hearts as we affectionately reach out to others, join hands and sing “For the Sake of Auld Lang Syne we’ll pass a cup of kindness . . .”
What do you think about sharing a ‘Cup of personal Kindness’? If you were holding one in your hands right now, how big would it be? What shape, size or form would it take? Is your cup half full or half empty? Importantly, would you share it with a person who is making your heart feel a far off place at the moment?
WHAT HAS KINDESS DONE FOR YOU?
Think of kindness as a teacher. We all know that small acts of kindness go a long way but there’s always room for more. A Course in Miracles says: ‘Let love enter into your mind and make kindness your goal’
CALL TO ACTION
With this in mind, take a few moments to imagine – even illustrate – a representative cup of kindness – colour it, name it, own it! Take your time, don’t hold back, this is a loving cup of your creation – let it overflow!
THE CHALLENGE
Next, allow yourself to share its contents with a friend, stranger, animal or place in need; especially with that person who is making your heart feel a far off place. In your mind’s eye, offer your cup to them with compassion, forgiveness and love in your recipe if you can. How do you feel about this person or situation now?
A HEALING CUP
Love comes all wrapped up in kindness! If this gesture is difficult to conjure, you can always ask the Angels to assist you. They have an unlimited amount of love and kindness to go round. For example:-
Archangel Uriel throws light on a situation or relationship that needs compassion.
Archangel Chamuel helps us look at life through the lens of Love.
Archangel Michael empowers us to step up and shine through Love.
Archangel Jophiel reminds us to be kind to the inner vision of ourselves.
Your Guardian Angel is always by your side to direct towards Love.
KIND HEARTEDNESS
Kindness is a healer, a shape shifter, a joy bringer. A gift to ourselves and others any time of year. it’s a gift from your heart to another without any expectation of payment in return. You could say, kindness is a ‘small act of greatness’.
For auld lang syne, my jo,
for auld lang syne,
we’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
