The Kindness Code That works two ways! 💖

I want to share something powerful and a little unexpected that happened to me recently.

The other day, during my morning meditation, I tried something new—a kindness meditation. It’s a practice designed to "install" a code of kindness directly into your heart. It’s hard to explain, but the experience felt profound, like planting a little seed of love that just wanted to grow and radiate outward.

Later that evening, my husband and I went to one of our favorite spots to dance and unwind. As soon as we walked in, people started coming up to me, saying things like, “Wow, you look amazing tonight!” or “You’re just glowing!”

Now, don’t get me wrong—compliments are always nice, but I wasn’t exactly feeling fabulous that night. Honestly, I was having a terrible hair day, and my outfit wasn’t anything special.

But then it hit me: it wasn’t my hair or clothes they were noticing. It was the energy. The kindness meditation had shifted something inside me, and people were feeling it without even realizing it.

But here’s the other side…

As the night went on, I noticed something else. Something uncomfortable. I became acutely aware of my own inner thoughts—specifically, the unkind ones.

For example, my friend Jill walked by, and I caught myself thinking, Wow, she’s definitely put on some weight this winter.

Then another friend came up, and while I admired her flawless, creamy skin, I silently wondered, Why on earth would she wear that baggy T-shirt to a party?

Ouch!

The thing is, I probably would’ve had those same thoughts last week, but I wouldn’t have noticed. This time, though, it was like a spotlight was shining on them.

At first, I felt embarrassed. How could I radiate kindness if I was silently criticizing people in my head? But then I realized: this awareness was part of the process.

You can’t change what you don’t see, right?

This meditation wasn’t just about making me more compassionate toward others—it was also about showing me where I wasn’t being kind, even in the privacy of my own mind. And here’s the beautiful part: when you notice those critical thoughts, you have the power to transform them.

Instead of silently judging Jill, I could send her a silent blessing of love and encouragement. Instead of critiquing my friend’s T-shirt, I could shift my focus to how much I appreciated her warmth and presence.

This practice is a like magic for your own soul!

The kindness code doesn’t just make you more radiant to others; it also opens the door to deeper self-awareness and transformation. And trust me, the world can feel the difference.

If this resonates with you, I’ve recorded the kindness meditation I used, and I’d love for you to try it. It’s only 10 minutes—the perfect way to start your day with more love and light.
