Cultivating Loving Kindness

Research into the scientific benefits of cultivating kindness is expanding rapidly. Of course, we don’t always feel loving and compassionate towards ourselves and other people, and this practice is a realistic one that allows us to recognise and feel the pushes and pulls involved in offering loving kindness to ourselves and others. Alongside any habitual reactivity that we may notice as we do the practice, it is possible to incline the mind towards an attitude of greater loving-kindness.
