A Beautiful Mindfulness Meditation

The iroquois nation had a beautiful way of teaching their children generosity. The child would be encouraged and guided to say, ah, there's so much food here, please come partake. And then they'd be wrapped in warm skins and woven things. Some one would shout, om, i'm cold. I'm freezing. And the child would offer these warm things to them. It was a meditation on gratitude, and it was a practice of connecting and engaging with loving awareness all the things around us.And it changed us.
