Transcript

And begin by just taking three deep breaths,

Letting go of everything before and after this meditation.

Breathing in and breathing out.

Breathing in and breathing out.

And breathing in and breathing out.

Acknowledging our intention,

That which has brought us here today.

And letting the mind rest and be at peace.

And we'll begin by thinking of a person,

A companion,

A friend,

That we have a strong sense of loving kindness for.

Maybe holding a baby or a puppy.

Maybe a friend or a family member we haven't seen in a while.

Just visualizing this companion smiling in front of us,

Happy and content.

Knowing that this companion wishes the best for us.

We now begin to direct this loving kindness inwards to ourselves.

May I be happy.

May I be well.

May I be safe.

May I be peaceful and at ease.

And breathing into this.

And as we breathe in,

We let our breath encompass this loving kindness.

And then we begin to send it out to all those we will come in contact with today.

May everyone I interact with be happy.

May everyone that I interact with be well.

May everyone that I interact with be safe.

May everyone that I interact with be peaceful and at ease.

And expanding this circle of loving kindness even further.

May all those that I do not come in contact with today be happy.

May all those that I do not come in contact with today be well.

May all those that I do not come in contact with today be peaceful and at ease.

And finally expanding our loving kindness as wide as the entire universe.

May all beings across all times be happy.

May all beings across all times be well.

May all beings across all times be safe.

May all beings across all times be peaceful and at ease.

And may it be so.

Namaste.

Thank you so much. This was beautiful. Your voice was very calm and soothing and the pace was perfect. I would prefer that the music was lower or mixed differently so it wasnโ€™t competing with your voice. Thank you ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ

I love this meditation. It is short and sweet if I do not have much time but I find it incredibly moving. The part about all beings across time and space is certainly quantum loving and brings up people and events to me where I could have done things differently. This is a gentle repair of sorts. Very beautiful!

I don't know why I have such an emotional response to this Metta. I cry every time so far. I love the final all beings across time and space.. so wholly encompassing in sharing peace. is this meditation perfect? no. but it affects me in insane ways. thank you.

Beautiful 7 minute start to my day, would like not so abrupt of an ending with the background music. I would like to sit in the space and hold the energy and sensation for at least another 30 seconds, thank you for your contribution.
