Empathizing With Ourselves And Others

Many lovingkindness instructions don't encourage us to connect empathetically to ourselves before we start to wish ourselves well. This meditation teaches the art of self-empathy, which helps our innate kindness to flow more easily. And once we have empathized with ourselves, we find it much easier to empathize with others, and then to genuinely wish them well.

A wonderful meditation, felt very useful for me today. Thank you 🙏

Beautiful loving kindness practice made more accessible by acknowledging our similarities, our shared humanity, not only in the things that we want in life, like happiness, health & freedom from suffering, but also that achieving these things isn’t easy - acknowledging the ‘difficulty of this being human’ that we all experience. 🙏🏻🌺

Thank you. It set my day to be kind to myself and all I meet. To be mindful of that kindness ❤️

How lovely to see new practices from Bodhi! Very gentle loving kindness meditation. Thank you. ☮️💖🙏🖖🪷
