Let's take a deep breath in nice deep breath and sit up straight if you're sitting on the floor cross-legged That's amazing. If you're sitting on the chair, Then please keep your feet down on the floor and uncrossed I want you to just settle into this moment and breathe in deeply and watch your breath for a few seconds as you breathe in and breathe out and And I want you to think now of an animal or an object of your affection Something that you can be compassionate to someone you can be compassionate towards maybe a puppy Maybe a kitten Maybe a potted plant Take a deep breath in It's a lovely night summery and You're walking down after a party From a restaurant close by to your home. You're merry. You're happy you're smiling as you walk along and Suddenly from an alleyway on your side you detect movement and you are attracted towards this movement and as you go closer to the alley you see a shift a body shifts in the alley and As you get used to the darkness you detect a puppy When you move closer this little puppy retracts even further into the darkness She doesn't trust She doesn't trust anybody Because every time that she's trusted somebody She has been bitten or scratched or hurt She's lonely. She's desperate She's terrified and helpless Her eyes darting this way and that from a corner you step in a little closer Sending love to her Dear puppy. I want to help you. I want to assist you I want to feed you and take care of you and you look directly into her big brown eyes and you see fear and As you lock eyes with her You can only feel love But does she feel it? No, Not so. She doesn't know how to trust She's not eaten in days She's hungry She's fearful Dear puppy dog You don't need to fear me I will always be kind and protecting and caring Dear puppy dog I care for you and send you my love My love And as you extend your hand towards the puppy She withdraws further into the darkness but slowly she gains in confidence as You two lock eyes She feels that love that's flowing out of your heart towards her She feels drawn towards you Maybe this human is good Maybe this human will not hurt me and Slowly she walks her first steps Toward you and you're kneeling down and she brushes up against your knee and You stretch out your hand Against her fur. She's dirty and grimy and thin and bony and You're speaking to her little puppy Please let me look after you and There's love in your eyes. I Will never harm you. I will take you home and Give you a warm bed and food to eat and very slowly You reach out and pick up the puppy in your arms and she lets you She's beginning to trust you she sees hope in a world that has so far been cruel and Very slowly you bring her to your chest and Hold her there softly letting her feel the warmth of your body and slowly the tightness and fear within her Disappear Dear little puppy May all your pain disappear may your desperation change and she sees in you a new big protector and she nuzzles and For the first time you see a smile in her eyes she lets out this small woof of joy and It's trust and in her mind. She seems to be saying I Know I have found someone who loves me Someone who will protect me there is love in her eyes as well and you Can see it. I Want you now to hold on to this feeling of loving-kindness That you have towards this puppy or this kitten or whoever is the figure of your loving-kindness Hold on to it for a moment and now I Want you to let go of the image of the pup or the kitten? And I want you to imagine a friend or someone in your family That is in need of loving-kindness Imagine that person Sitting right in front of you right now He or she too Like the little pup is in need of loving-kindness in need of warmth In need of a feeling of security Lonely cold hungry Uncared for by life he or she may need a friend right now Somebody who will stand by them when the world has judged them and Left them as not worthy she may be sick and Needing your help to nurture and care for a hand to hold on to Someone to hug I want you now to take their name whoever it is and tell them I Care for you. I love you I'm there whenever you are in pain or hurting inside or in trouble I Love you not because I have to but because I want to Anytime you are in pain or sick Anytime that you're feeling uncomfortable unloved Just know that I'm always there for you and right here right now Imagine this beautiful golden light of loving-kindness Flowing out of your heart and Bathing your friend in love may you be free from pain and sickness and fear may you smile and laugh and live in joy again May happiness Be by your side Remember your mother when you used to fall and hurt yourself She would kiss your wounds and make that pain go away You can do the same right now Heal the wounds of your friend your partner your relative Heal them with love From your chest is flowing out loving-kindness and it covers your friend Completely and it is beginning to show love and compassion and empathy I want you to now imagine All the people in your home or your office or a space that you frequent all of us Have some pain some ache grief disease Unhappiness Family problems Financial difficulties sicknesses We all have suffered the pain and rejection and frustration and Resentment and anger I Want you now without opening your eyes to spread loving-kindness Into every space that you know Maybe your home Maybe your office. Maybe if you're studying at school Spread that loving-kindness out Dear friends, I truly care for you and I truly wish you happiness and healing and health I Want you to be peaceful and joyful and all that suffering That you have gone through I Want you now to let it go and be free I Care for each one of you and send this powerful loving-kindness in a golden light to each and every one of you I love you, And I wish you well and This golden glow of loving-kindness is Becoming stronger and stronger and stronger and the more you give the stronger it becomes and So let its flow from your heart Into your home and into the streets of your city May all be well in peace and healed It's a hard world out there So let's send out loving-kindness To the world around us Out there somewhere. There are those who are sick and lonely and fearful Some have been abused Some have been hurt very badly Let's send out loving-kindness to each and Every one of them and now to all beings in this world birds and animals and fish and all living beings That they are well and happy and peaceful and calm Let's spread the love let's spread the compassion Let's spread loving-kindness And now imagine yourself sitting in front of you and You are no different from that little pup hurt disappointed sometimes lonely sometimes hungry Without money, Maybe Money, Maybe you too need that love Me and you take your name now this person I have known for as long as I have lived Be happy.
