Compassion For Self And Others (Meditation Only)

Please note, I have increased the volume of this track and made it stereo. Join me in a compassion meditation for both yourself and others. Research shows that when we when we engage in practices like loving-kindness meditation we actually create real, measurable, positive changes in both our internal physiology and externally in others and the world around us.

So let's come into a short practice together. You can do this either sitting or lying down. But either way, I invite you to make your body. As comfortable. As you possibly can. And when you're ready gently closing your eyes. Or just lowering your gaze. If that's more comfortable for you. Feel where your body meets the surface beneath. And let the weight of your whole body melt into that support. Let your tongue rest. In the mouth. Let your eyes soften right back. Jaw loosening. Shoulders softening down. Whole face softening. Your whole body. Dropping just a little deeper. Into the surface beneath. And now let your breath go just a little deeper. Down into your belly than usual. . . . . . And exhaling with a really long and soft soothing sigh. As you sit or lie here quietly. I invite you to mentally repeat these words after me. May I? And all living beings. Be happy. Be well. And be at peace. May I and all living beings. Live with the joyful. Loving. And grateful heart. May I and all living beings. Live in harmony. And to live with meaning. Connection. And love. May I and all living beings. Be healthy. Be safe. And be protected from all sorts of inner and outer harm. May I and all living beings. Flourish and thrive. And live lives of ease. Freedom. And peace. I invite you to take just a few precious moments now. To simply rest here. And do absolutely nothing. Nothing. Giving yourself full permission. Just be. And whenever you're ready to come back. Take a few more of those really slow and low breaths. Maybe stretching your body. And gently opening your eyes whenever you're ready.

Yes I did notice this today and thank you for doing that for us. I am adding to my video playlist. Makes it even easier for my daily. I’m a real early bird. I love the quietness of the world before everything gets going. Most days especially if I wake before I smell the coffee I listen to something before I get out of bed. I listened to this one . Never worry about apologizing for not replying sooner, no expectations here. I am retired and sometimes life’s happening quicker than I can keep up with. ❤️🙏
