Daoist Jade Pond

This meditation comes from Chapter 3 of the Tao Te Ching, written by Lao Tzu some 2,500 years ago.

Not praising the talented prevents jealousy. Not storing up riches prevents stealing. By not displaying valuable things people's hearts are not troubled. This is why sages empty their heart-minds and fill their bellies. They weaken their ambitions and strengthened their bodies. They are free of knowledge and desires. By practicing not doing, they live in peace and inner harmony.

This teaches us how to avoid pangs of jealousy over how much other people are accomplishing, which can cause us to feel inferior.

I'm so pleased I found this meditation. It will definitely be repeated multiple times. With gratitude, Mayasah.

I love your meditations and I am learning a lot! Thanks!

This is so different from my usual meditations. I am a little confused about exactly where you place your hands (palms?) in the last part of the meditation when you rub your hands together 36 times? Thank you for teaching us.

Thank you! I love your meditations!!
