Cultivating Loving-Kindness Meditation

Welcome! This is a 30-minute guided meditation to help shift your energy. Focusing on the heart or the center of the breastbone is where you can begin to cultivate, deepen, and experience loving kindness. The critical feelings we have towards ourselves and each other will slowly change over time by practicing this meditation, also known as the Metta Prayer or Metta Bhavana.

There are many different versions of practicing loving-kindness and here you repeat four mantras: 1) May you be safe, 2) May you be healthy, 3) May you be happy, and free from harm, suffering, and be at peace, 4) May you be loved. Pay attention to the mantras while the rounds change. There is a 15 minute silence to allow for a deeper meditation.
