Developing Loving-Kindness

A lovingkindness (metta) meditation from "Guided Meditations For Calmness, Awareness, and Love." This is very different in some ways from how I teach lovingkindness meditation now, but a lot of people still seem to find it helpful. Also, please check out my other meditations on Insight Timer.

A very beautiful, peaceful, uplifting gift. I recently found your meditations and truly appreciate your gift.

Something wonderful happened after the first time I did this meditation I went to church, and at the point in the Catholic mass, when everybody has to say peace be with you and smile at many of the people in church, I looked around, said peace, be with you to some of the people, and I felt for the first time the wonderful spirituality of every single person. Every time I did this before this meditation, I had always always said to myself they’re not as good as I am, because they don’t meditate. But this time, I felt the love in the room. I know that this was because of this meditation, thank you so much!

Lovely voice and well structured meditation. Thank you 😊

That was a beautiful way to begin my day. Thank you 🙏

Lovely voice. I like how Bodhipaksa frames things, particularly accepting difficicult emotions and starting from where we are! 🪷🙏🏻

I fell into a dreamlike state. Will need to do this over. 😂

Thank you for a very peaceful and balanced practice. I am very grateful. It helped move my thoughts from worry and agitation to a more positive, calm space. 🙏

Nice reflective meditation, very healing and calming, thank you!

Very calm, and not cheesy (for the lack of a better word) at all like some other metta meditations on this app. Nothing wrong with a bit of cheesiness but I usually prefer this. Thank you.

Thank you! Calming and beautifully grounding! With gratitude to for your teaching and guidance to a peaceful space within. Tracy

Beautiful soothing voice, pace and genuine presence. Thank you.

One of my favorite lovingkindness meditations. Makes me feel better every time. Thank you 🤍

I don’t generally do guided meditations, however, this was recommended to me by someone I deeply trust and who knows me very well. It was wonderful and incredibly helpful in what in what is a definitely season of emotional darkness for me. Thank you 🙏🏾

Thank you so much 🙏🏼 great Metta, time slipped away, the work was being done ☸️ grateful Namaste 🙏🏼

Heart softening and warmth in the whole body. Just what I needed

Thank you for sweet voice.
I'm always thankful to you and really enjoying your meditation.

That was so wonderful! Thank you for sharing this profoundly transformational practice 💓🌄

Really like the flowers into a pond metaphor, the evocation several times of the felt sense of emotion, and the appreciation at the end.

This meditation holds true wisdom for our relationships, with self and others.

I am relatively new to metta practice and, up until this moment, have struggled to experience its benefits. This guided meditation has been like a door I have walked through. I begin to understand the power and beauty of metta. I look forward to using this meditation again and again.
