Generosity is another quality which, like patience, letting go,
non-judging, and trust, provides a solid foundation for mindfulness
practice. You might experiment with using the cultivation of generosity as
a vehicle for deep self-observation and inquiry as well as an exercise in
giving. A good place to start is with yourself. See if you can give

accept these gifts without obligation-to simply receive from yourself, and
from the universe.
