Loving Kindness

This meditation, led by Cait Wood, is designed to foster a moment of peace and loving-kindness. It begins by guiding you to find a comfortable seat, grounding your feet into the earth, and lengthening the spine to create space for natural breathing. You are encouraged to tune into your breath, observing its rise and fall, while bringing awareness to your belly’s rise with each inhale. The meditation then offers a series of affirmations for your well-being: safety, health, happiness, freedom, peace, and ease. The practice concludes with a bow to acknowledge the light and love within yourself and others, leaving you centered and ready to continue your day from a space of peace and love.

Transcript

Hello and welcome.

My name is Kate Wood.

Let's embark on a journey of loving-kindness meditation.

This meditation is intended to create a marked moment,

A shift in your day into a more peaceful and loving space.

Find a comfortable seat.

Allow for both seat bones to ground down equally and even.

As you ground down,

Allow the crown of your head to grow a little taller,

Creating more space between each vertebrae of your spine.

Bring your awareness to your breath,

Allowing the gentle rise and fall of your breath to happen automatically,

To act as a witness to that experience.

As you listen to your own breath,

The lullaby of your life,

Allow yourself to be open and to receive these words of loving-kindness metta.

May you be safe.

May you be healthy.

May you be happy.

May you find your freedom.

May you know peace and may you travel this world with ease.

The light and love in me bows to the light and love in you.

After a gentle bow,

Allow yourself to begin again from a space of peace and love and kindness.
