Lovingkindness Meditation | Metta | Buddhist Mind Training | Self-Compassion

This is the first of four recordings on the theme, "How to Love". Lovingkindness is a traditional Buddhist practice of intentionally cultivating goodwill, friendliness, and care—for ourselves, the people we care about, and all beings.

⭐️ Research indicates this practice:

• Improves personal relationships

• Decreases inflammation and supports cardiac function

• Boosts pro-social activities like helping others

• Cultivates compassion for oneself and others

• Increases calmness and ability to handle stressful situations

• Develops deeper connection in relationships

• Increases job satisfaction and decreased job overwhelm

WE COMMIT TO THIS INTENTION FROM THE BUDDHA:

“We will develop and cultivate the liberation of mind by lovingkindness, make it our vehicle, make it our basis, stabilize it, exercise ourselves in it, and fully perfect it.”

⭐️ WHEN TO PRACTICE

This meditation is most effective when practiced daily. Commit to a time and place where you can do it regularly.
