Smiling Kindness

A short practice on compassion. This is a variation on the Loving Kindness practice; imagine each person we are thinking of during the practice, smiling and full of joy. Recorded live at Crone Woods, Co. Wicklow Ireland. Best to do this seated with your eyes closed or gaze low. Please note that all my recordings are done using a simple headset so I apologise for the quality of the recording / sound levels.

Easy and joyful voice to listen to. Also in a real environment.
Therefore the not perfect sound and background noises are just like a wush of the wind

Thank you for sharing this beautiful meditation with us all
Namasté 🍁🌬️🎨📜

Such a comforting and loving meditation. I enjoyed chirping of the birds, too 🤗
May you be happy, may you be well! Namaste! 🙏🙏🙏

I hope to come back to this. Allowing the smile to be there brought some lightness of being. And I appreciated the bell as a signal to release and move on.

The name of meditation attracted me, so I press the play and I hear familiar voice. What a surprise 😃 ! Thank you Chris for a beautiful practice of love and kindness ❤️

So magical and feels so incredibly healing in the most simple way.

Lovely meditation and a great way to start the day.

Awesome visualization! This is what I love about buddhist meditation

Very nice! The sounds in the background are just perfect. The birds chirping, indistinct chatter, very subtle. I quite enjoyed it. Thank you!

Absolutely lovely. I think I’ll make a habit out of this one

A beautiful way to start my day. Thank you so much!

Beautiful metta, thank you. Love this meditation and the sounds of life in the background. 💜🙏

Simple, lovely: the basic teaching of all faiths. The final step in the meditation is a beautiful way to develop awareness of the enormous web of human connections in each of our lives. Chris’ voice is authentic and gentle.

Absolutely lovely. I will also get my 6 year old son to listen to this. Thanks very much for this kindness meditation, to others and to self ✌️🍀💖🌄🧘🙏

Loved the bg noise :)

I have listened to this practice many, many times over the last 8 months. Each time my heart has softened and opened and I have felt myself 'smile' on the inside.
This practice helps me start each day with my head (and heart) in a much better place.
Thank you for guiding me. This practice has (and is) making a difference.
May you also be happy. May you be well. Namaste 🙏

I loved this! Loved the birds & the folks murmurs as they passed was not bothersome to me at all Thank you for this!! I’m going to Ireland in May 2020 for a Yoga/meditation retreat & So looking forward to being out in the greenery on those ancient grounds and meditating. Thank you again for your lovely meditation. Shalom.

Thanks for the love.

Very nice meditation. Thought of so many smiling faces.

Simple and brilliant
