Meditation: Metta Loving-Kindness
The "Metta Loving-Kindness Meditation" guides listeners through cultivating feelings of love, kindness, and compassion for themselves and others.
Introduction: Relax and set an intention to cultivate kindness.
Self-Kindness: Focusing inward, repeat affirmations like, “May I be happy, may I be healthy, may I be free from suffering.”
Extending Kindness: Expand to include loved ones, acquaintances, and even difficult people, repeating the same affirmations.
Universal Kindness: Broaden to encompass all living beings, fostering a sense of interconnectedness and universal goodwill.
Closing: Concludes by encouraging gratitude and reflection, bringing awareness back to the present moment.
The meditation fosters a sense of inner peace and outward compassion. It is one I practice often and is welcome in the universe anytime, but it is especially momentous as we consider trying times like natural disasters and the health of the communities they affect.
Love + Namaste,
