A Loving-Kindness Meditation For Carers

This gentle Loving-Kindness meditation was created especially for carers—those who give so much of their energy, time, and heart to supporting others. In this practice, you’ll be guided to soften the tension you carry, reconnect with your own worthiness, and offer kindness to the parts of yourself that feel tired, overwhelmed, or unseen, and then to include the cared for in your loving kindness practice.

Through simple phrases of compassion, you’ll slowly shift your nervous system toward warmth, safety, and ease, allowing your heart to be held rather than doing the holding.

With gratitude to James Anthony Walker for his kind permission to use his beautiful music Floating to accompany this track. You will find this and more of his amazing music here on Insight Timer.

That was beautiful, Dee! I’m a carer at work and home and this time of year I’m especially stretched thin. These words were especially helpful this day.
