Beautiful. A lovely introduction, I'd come across this concept before and I send metta to my clients at the end of their treatments - I'd forgotten about sending it to myself and all other beings as well - this was the perfect reminder of the full scope of a really powerful practice that I know I'll benefit from by incorporating into my days. Many thanks for this beautiful offerring. Wishing you many blessings 🙏🏼😊✨️
