Thoughts, ideas, beliefs, values, and truths are all subject to change and impermanence. Logically we can grasp this concept, yet much suffering arises by our habitual grasping to these ever-changing experiences.

Here I guide a meditation designed to cultivate an awareness of our own impermanence.

While most people recognize that physical change is inevitable, our clinging to certain aspect of  the 

body, while pushing away other aspects still gives rise to suffering. This practice can free us from 

the pursuit of looking for permanency where it cannot be found.

When we practice Lovingkindness meditation we are systematically recognizing and dissolving the resistances to Lovingkindness we hold on to. Though this practice we become more open to receive the kindness of others. In turn, we also become more open to give freely. We feel deeply the benefit of giving and receiving.
