Twenty-Second Hand Washing with Kindness Intentions

Cultivating Kindness, One Hand-Wash at a Time

Imagine that becoming kind-minded in a crazy-making world is God’s hope for humanity. Katarina, Queen of Kindness, encourages everyone to be the blessing, be the light.

You can wash your hands and renew your spirit at the same time. How? Try Kind. While taking twenty seconds to wash your hands, say these words to celebrate and cultivate kindness. Alternate throughout the day: 1st and 2nd Handwashing.

The first is about anchoring your life in kindness. The second is about appreciating the kindness others extend to you. The words in #2 are lyrics from a song about kindness, © 2017. To sing your appreciation, learn the melody here.

1st Handwashing

I pause, breathe, choose. I choose kindness, mindful kindness.
I believe that love trumps fear and kindness counts. I cultivate
love and openness, caring and concern, strength and gentleness.
As you and I commit to kindness, we are creating a culture
of kindness and hope for the future. Namaste.

2nd Handwashing

When I see kindness in your eyes, I see love and openness.
When I hear kindness in your voice, I hear caring and concern.
When I feel kindness in your touch, I feel strength and gentleness.
I give thanks for the kindness in your heart. I give thanks for you.

Curiosity

Curiosity is our natural ability to look at things with fresh eyes. As we put aside opinions, concepts, projections, and expectations: we become available to experience this moment with the wonder and innocence of a child. 

Being curious brings us into a natural, open, and vast space to explore: “What is this?” “What am I experiencing?” “What am I feeling?”

4. Bring more awareness to what you are feeling. Focus on your felt experience and the qualities of the Inner Resource as you embody it. Resist the habit to analyze. Simply feel your body and emotions. 

5. Be open to your current experience, whatever it is, without judgment. Just ride the wave of the experience.

6. Remember that the quality of your attention and what you are feeling are more important than the content. Notice how your attention changes, waxing and waning, growing stronger, and sometimes getting distracted. No worries, simply bring your awareness back to the moment, take a deep breath, and focus on the Inner Resource.

7. Become familiar with the feelings and sensations of the Inner Resource you have chosen. Feel what is showing up in your physical body and your emotional body. Be curious to discover how this Inner Resource will support you in your life, to be who you really want to be, and feel how you really want to feel. It is through feeling the Inner Resource that you activate the frequency of it. 

Take 5 Deep Breaths

1. Feel your body.

2. Relax your shoulders.

3. Choose a word that makes you feel peaceful, such as om, peace, or love.

4. Inhale slowly while mentally saying the word you chose. Pause before starting the exhalation.

5. Exhale slowly while mentally saying 1 with the first breath. Exhale saying 2 with the second breath, up to 5 or more.

Feel Your Body

Relax your body, and just be aware of how your body feels. Be curious about what is happening in your body. Without changing anything, just notice what you are feeling. Notice where you are feeling things in your body. Make yourself more comfortable if you’d like. Take a deep breath, and feel the sensation of aliveness and the energy of your body.
