Alphabet soup for the soul – “B”

B is for Benevolence

Dress yourself in the silks of benevolence because kindness makes you beautiful.

Richelle E. Goodrich

Benevolence and Altruism are two states that guarantee compassion, joy and well-being. Sounds simple. With consistent practice, it is.

We are designed to be sentient and generous beings. When we show kindness for the well-being of others, we shift the focus off ourselves and, in doing so, forget any pain we are in, both physically and psychologically. The kind of pain that keeps us stuck in lower frequencies.

The physical stability, physiological stability and mental calmness resulting from equanimity are worth installing the daily practice and discipline required to get there.

Physiologically, our body releases the needed chemicals to signal peace and calm instead of the fight or flight alarm that goes off when the stress response is turned on (the stress response for many is on constantly).

In helping others, we allow ourselves to heal, and once that happens, we can heal others. If energy flows where attention goes, then by taking attention off yourself and putting it on someone else, your energy flows to them, which is the energy they can use to heal their body and mind.

Once we practice emotional intelligence, we vibrate higher, shine brighter, and create from a place of love and light.
