Hi friend,

When you give to others, it's good for you, too: it strengthens you with a sense of the fullness that’s already inside, while also connecting you with other people. Generosity to others can be a gift to you along the way, giving you even more to offer in a positive cycle.

In this season of giving, I'd like to offer a guided meditation on generosity: Wishing Others Well.

Generosity itself is a beautiful practice that opens and gladdens the heart, relaxes the contraction of "self," and ripples out into the world to touch many people – and perhaps, eventually, even oneself.

Want to Give this Giving Tuesday?

If you are able to, consider making an offering to one of the extraordinary organizations working for good in this world. Here are some of my favorites:

• The Global Compassion Coalition - join the coalition for free and/or give a donation to help build a world based on compassion

• BRITE - give students in Haiti the necessities to prosper at school

• Amnesty International - give your time by writing letters or volunteering, or make a donation to support human rights

• NMDP - join the marrow registry, and you could possibly save a life

• Action Against Hunger - give a donation to help end hunger

• Wellspring Institute for Neuroscience and Contemplative Wisdom - give a donation to help people learn new ways to change the brain for the better

And if you'd like to give a gift to someone else, all of my online courses are still half off until midnight tonight. When you purchase one, you're also supporting thousands of others who take these courses on a scholarship basis.

May you be well, happy, safe, and at peace.

Warmly,

Rick
