What qualities do you own? What qualities are uniquely yours to share? Part of growth and development involves acquiring the capacity to sense, experience, and resonate with qualities and to create and share qualities with others.
Remember we discern the nature of someone, not by what they do or say, by the qualities we sense in another person.
The only permanent qualities are those that support growth and healing. Any quality you would deem negative, hurtful, or harmful is temporary.
The development of qualities is a rich path to follow. The path of discovery is twofold. First one can adopt a broad practice of self-development through traditions such as yoga, meditation, Tai Chi, Qigong, or value-based religions or philosophies. In fact, “any form” that is a deep practice of learning about oneself, in order to be of service to others, will naturally develop a range of qualities.
For others, a more specific path might involve simply selecting certain qualities, which they are attracted to and seek to develop. Of course, this is much easier to do with a learning partner.
To develop a specific quality one might:
1. Choose a quality and build the intention to develop it
2. Actively discover the quality through reading, reflection, or spending time with others who share this quality
3. Intentionally share the qualities you already own to support others
4. Practice visualization of the quality you wish to own, and then releasing it to others
A wonderful service to provide to someone is to reflect back her natural qualities. Many people, during the course of their lives, become distracted or loose touch with their natural qualities. Sometimes this is simply a matter of calling the qualities forward and dusting them off.
Qualities grow stronger and glow brighter with use and sharing. The more you express your qualities and share them with others the more it invites people to rediscover qualities they own.
In fact, it is an excellent practice for teachers and parents to regularly notice what qualities are emerging in the children around them and intentionally work to acknowledge and support the growth of these natural qualities.
Working with qualities intentionally and directly is way to become more awake to the energetic world around you.
