“A powerful way of practicing metta is to invite in the feeling of love without specific words or images. You become a beacon of kindness. Then whatever arises as you sit—thoughts, people, images, concerns—will be held in that kindness.” – Jack Kornfield

• Allowing ourselves to soften, relax, and rest easily
• Feeling completely supported by the earth below us 
• Opening our hearts and minds via the metta sutta of loving-kindness
• Suffusing the whole world with unobstructed, sublime love

“The ideal as you practice is to find your own way, to find what most naturally resonates with yourself as a gateway to open the heart.” – Jack Kornfield
