Loving everyone everywhere,
A heart as wide as the world.
Finally,
Let's send wishes of well-being to all beings everywhere.
Allowing your mind to open up,
To open wide.
May all beings be safe.
May all beings be happy.
May all beings be peaceful.
We can begin with your innermost circle of friends,
Family,
Or both.
Let your heart hold everyone in this circle,
Sending wishes of well-being to each of them.
Maybe you see threads from your heart extending outward,
Connecting to the hearts of others.
May you be safe.
You're offering them these wishes for their well-being.
May you be happy.
May you be peaceful.
And now letting this feeling of loving-kindness spread beyond the circle of your contacts,
Moving out through the walls of this building,
Out onto the street.
Touching everyone it meets with a feeling of well-being,
This force field of loving-kindness,
Having a visceral impact on all beings.
May all beings everywhere be safe.
May all beings everywhere be happy.
May all beings everywhere be peaceful.
Keep letting your heart expand to encompass an ever-widening circle,
Imagining this circle of love spreading out across the streets in all directions,
North,
South,
East,
And west,
North,
South,
East,
And west,
Above and below,
Across the buildings,
Across the rivers,
Across the oceans,
Across the forests,
Across the mountains.
Everything it touches is in some way impacted.
May all beings be safe.
May all beings be happy,
Peaceful.
Letting your heart expand beyond your city,
Your community,
Across your country,
Out beyond the oceans,
Across the continents,
Around the poles,
North and south,
Beyond the equator.
May all beings everywhere be safe,
Happy,
Peaceful.
Peaceful.
Let these blessings wrap around the whole planet.
Let your heart open wide in all directions,
Above and below,
North,
South,
East,
West,
And all around.
Let no living creature go untouched.
Sharing the universal qualities of happiness,
Peace.
May all beings be at ease in body and mind.
May all beings live in peace and harmony together.
