In this guided meditation, listeners are led through a progressive loving-kindness practice, starting with self-compassion and gradually expanding to include loved ones, difficult people, and all beings. The practice begins with finding a comfortable position and connecting with the breath, then moves through carefully structured stages of extending well-wishes and caring intentions. Suitable for both beginners and experienced practitioners, this meditation offers gentle guidance on working with resistance and explores why self-directed kindness is a vital foundation for developing universal compassion. The episode runs in real-time, allowing listeners to fully experience each stage of the practice.
