In this guided meditation, we’ll begin by settling the body and arriving fully in the present moment. You’ll be guided through a gentle loving-kindness practice, imagining a peaceful countryside scene and sending goodwill to loved ones, acquaintances, and even those who challenge you. This meditation helps soften the heart, build empathy, and reconnect you with your natural sense of compassion. We’ll close by extending that kindness to your wider community and returning, calm and grounded, to the here and now.
