Friendliness Resistance Training

Friendliness resistance training offers a multisensory spin on the traditional lovingkindness exercise.

Resistance training uses resistance to muscular contraction to build physical strength. This exercise uses your willingness and reluctance to imagine the well-being of ourselves and others to develop greater awareness of our shared humanity.

When practiced over time, this exercise strengthens compassion and reduces internal friction to cultivate warmer social connections.

Thank you for your wisdom and guidance, Daron. 💕🙏

Gentle and affirming

Fresh, accessible, graceful language to cultivate an open heart. Daron is an easy guide. Thank you!

This is a wonderful meditation for those struggling with difficult people in the work place.

A gentle and pleasant loving kindness meditation. Daron's voice is intrinsically calming.

Thanks, Daron! This was my first time doing friendliness/loving kindness meditation. You made it easier to imagine as it is often a challenge to stay present with images.

A great meditation.

Thanks for this great time that allow me to feel!

This sounds almost identical to a loving kindness meditation i have heard from a bodishatva in therevadic tradition. I am grateful for the reminder.

Wow! I didn't even know I needed this but I guess I did!

So grounding. Just what I need today before work. Birds eye view of coworkers that irritate me. Wishing them and their families. Safety, health ....

Nice instruction in different ideas & visualizations. Really helped build feeling of connection to others.

Refreshing and calming.

This is a beautiful take on the loving-kindness meditation, with a focus on the sensations of the body and a deepening of the experience of wishing for all beings to be at ease.
