Nurture Positive is the name we give to all the meditation techniques that involve the intentional cultivation of positive mental images, mental talk, and positive emotion. This category of techniques is perhaps the most colorful and diverse of any other category. In it, we find many different techniques such as song, prayer, mantra, calligraphy, icon paintings, feng shui, and many others.

More broadly, we also find these techniques in job search courses, where you create a mental image of yourself doing a good job interview. Or the mental training of top athletes. Personally, I like to practice this way through singing and playing, and by recalling good moments during the day with gratitude in the evening — and by tinkering in the garden.

By training in Nurture Positive, pleasant experiences become more accessible to us:

  • happiness
  • interest
  • enthusiasm
  • love
  • kindness
  • compassion
  • gratitude
  • forgiveness
  • creativity

etc...

A counterweight to negativity
