Gifts Of Light: A Solstice Metta Practice

Just as the solstice marks a turning point where light begins to return, metta (also known as Loving Kindness) practice reconnects us to the flame we each carry within—our capacity for warmth, radiance, and love.

The practice moves through the traditional recipients—self, loved one, benefactor, neutral person, and challenging person—with an invitation to visualise each being's inner light and to explore phrases like "May I remember my inner light" and "May I shine bright."
