Loving Kindness Meditation (LKLM)  helps us to attend and befriend our minds,  bodies and our experiences with mindfulness and self-compassion. We learn how to offer ourselves warmth, care, kindness and support. We offer ourselves genuine warmth and care by holding a loving kindness intention for ourselves and others. We explore widening our circle of compassion to include family, friends and people in our community.

Loving Kindness phrases explored in this practise include:
"May I be peaceful, May I be safe, May I be kind, May I be patient with myself and others, May I  recognise and trust the goodness in my self and others".

May they be peaceful, May they be safe, May they be kind, May they be patient with themselves and others, May they recognise and trust the goodness in themselves and others".

This  practise accompanies week three of Mindarma's Mindful May: Deepening your Practise with Self-Compassion Webinar Series with Dr Sadhbh Joyce.  

This practise enables you to centre your mind and body, reconnecting to a sense of grounded, balanced awareness. During the practise you are invited to connect with the  qualities of your true nature that are inherently compassionate, kind and supportive.

This practise accompanies week 2 of Mindarma's Mindful May Series (Deepening your Practise with Self-Compassion) with Dr Sadhbh Joyce.   Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) supports you in activating your body's relaxation response (via the vagus nerve). It involves actively tensing and softening different muscle groups throughout the body. PMR can be particularly helpful after a stressful day if you're finding it difficult to unwind. It can also support the body to relax in preparing for sleep.
