29:43:  New Mindfulness challenge of the week presented by Jackson:  Expressing loving kindness to someone whom you have difficulty with in your life.
Identify someone whom you have difficulty with (a good indication of this is when you think of them negative emotion such as anger or fear arise) and express feeling of good will toward them.  One thing meditation teaches us is that our happiness is not dependent on external circumstances.  We have the power to cultivate inward happiness that cannot be touched.  Therefore, we can take full responsibility for the suffering caused by thinking about our 'enemies'.  This is an incredibly difficult task.
