Opening our hearts in practice, Trudy Goodman takes us through her Jellyroll meditation to encourage the expansion of metta from the self to others.

Today’s podcast is brought to you by BetterHelp. Give online therapy a try at betterhelp.com/beherenow and get on your way to being your best self.

In this episode, Trudy Goodman illuminates:

  • The heart’s natural capacity to love and heal—reclaiming our birthright to compassion
  • Beginning metta (lovingkindness) practice with those we deeply love and who love us in return
  • Feeling into the warmth, care, and well-wishes from those we visualize in our meditation
  • Softening the mental walls that block us from receiving love and emotional support
  • Powerful metta phrases to offer ourselves and others
  • Embracing radical self-love—accepting ourselves just as we are
  • Expanding lovingkindness to those we feel neutral about, widening our circle of care
  • Extending compassion and goodwill even toward those we struggle with
  • Using the power of imagination to radiate boundless love to all beings everywhere

This recording was originally published on Dharmaseed.

“It's also a great practice to offer some loving kindness to the difficult parts of yourself. The parts you wish you could just have an 'ectomy' and get rid of them. A shame-ectomy or a blame-ectomy, whatever parts of yourself you find difficult to love, just hold them in some tenderness and care." – Trudy Goodman
