165B. Metta - Loving Kindness Meditation Practice. (LKM)


Listen Later

Start by finding comfortable seat.

Make a distinct change in your posture. A change that encourages a kind and attentive focus.

Repeat the following metta phrases quietly in your mind. These phrases will be directed to you, someone you love, a neutral person, someone you have complicated relations with, a group (or the world), and then back to yourself.

  • "May I(they) be filled with love and kindness."
  • "May I(they) be well."
  • "May I(they) be peaceful and at ease."
  • "May I(they) be happy and free."

Enjoy your practice. Let me know in the show notes how it goes.
