Radiant Metta: A Lovingkindness Practice

Metta, or lovingkindness, meditation is an ancient practice in sowing and cultivating feelings of love, kindness, and care. In this meditation, a sense of lovingkindness is envisioned as a warm glow in the heart center that radiates outward with wishes of well-being, eventually expanding to all living beings and illuminating Earth. Even without sensing these feelings, the listener is invited to hold the intent for these wishes and encouraged in understanding that metta meditation is a practice of planting seeds that over time will grow as a friendlier, caring attitude towards self and others.
