Heart Space Meditation for Self-Love | Meditation for Change
The heart space meditation is intended to help us turn inward for love and support. It’s common for us to automatically turn outward when we’re struggling, asking others to comfort us and come up with the answers to our problems. The trouble with this approach is that we might end up stuck when others aren’t available for support, or when they are, we might end up doing what's best for them, rather than what's best for us.
We can learn to trust the wisdom and support we have inside of us with practice. I hope you will enjoy this practice.

Mary’s Story (2019):
Mary comes from Uswaa village in rural Tanzania, where she lives in a banana forest and harvests bananas for selling at the market. She has 4 children, 12 grandchildren, and 1 great-grandchild.
Mary has been widowed since 2005. Prior to this, she worked odd farming jobs to support her ill husband for 10 years. Mary, herself, suffers from chronic swelling and pain in her legs, and often isn’t able to afford the cost of medication. Despite running her banana stand in the market for 10 years, she is only able to sell one day per week as she has to travel a long distance to get there and struggles with her leg pain. On market days, Mary begins work at 4am and doesn’t leave until the market closes at 5pm.
Between a struggling economy and more competition, Mary is selling fewer bananas than she used to, and feels stressed about her financial future. She lives alone, and although she receives some help from neighbours, she is faced with isolation and sometimes goes without food. Mary disclosed that spirituality has helped keep her strong, and beleves it is important to save whatever money she can.
Mary’s Hope:
Mary is passionate about finances, and wishes to mentor the other ladies about micro-financing and investments in her community.
