This is Marie Heart Nectar.
Thank you for joining me today for the Metta Prayer.
So find yourself a comfortable seated position or maybe lying down.
Whatever feels good for you in this moment.
And as you find that comfortable position,
I invite you to take a deep inhale in through your nose and then a slow soft exhale through your mouth.
Deep inhale in,
Slow exhale out.
Arriving in this moment,
Allowing yourself to be present in the here and now.
And as you feel this presence,
Maybe tuning into your heart,
And allowing it to open.
Allowing it to be free.
As we begin the prayer,
May I be safe.
May I be happy.
May I be healthy.
May I live with ease.
May I be free from suffering.
May I be free from fear and anxiety.
May I be peaceful.
May I be filled with loving kindness.
And to my loved ones and friends,
May they be happy.
May they be well.
May they be peaceful.
May they be free.
To all those in my city,
May they be happy.
May they be well.
May they be peaceful.
May they be free.
And to all those living in my state,
May they be happy.
May they be well.
May they be peaceful.
May they be free.
And to everyone in my country,
May they be happy.
May they be well.
May they be peaceful.
May they be free.
And to everyone on my continent,
May they be happy.
May they be well.
May they be peaceful.
May they be free.
And to everyone on the planet earth,
May they be happy.
May they be well.
May they be peaceful.
May they be free.
And to every living being in this beautiful universe,
May they be happy.
May they be well.
May they be peaceful.
May they be free.
May all beings known and unknown to me be happy.
May they be safe.
May they be peaceful.
May they be free.
To anyone I have hurt,
Knowingly or unknowingly,
Through thought,
Word,
Or deed,
I ask for their forgiveness.
May they be happy.
May they be safe.
May they be healthy.
May they live with ease.
And to all those whom have hurt me,
Knowingly or unknowingly,
Through thought,
Word,
Or deed,
I send them my love and healing energy.
And I release them.
I release myself and my attachment to them.
May I be happy.
May I be safe.
May I be healthy.
May I live with ease.
Deep inhale in through your nose.
And a slow,
Soft exhale through your mouth.
Anchoring in this frequency of love,
Forgiveness,
And compassion for all beings.
May we all be safe.
May we all be happy.
May we all be healthy.
May we all live with ease.
Maybe placing a hand on your heart,
Acknowledging this unconditional love that lives.
Sharing this love freely and openly with all beings.
May your day be blessed.
May your life be full and safe.
