20 Minute Compassion Meditation

Loving-kindness meditation is a potent practice to generate a sense of compassion for and interconnectedness with all. With roots in the Tibetan Buddhist lineage, this practice feels like a warm bath; we are reminded that this human experience is shared and we are unconditionally supported and cared for because we unconditionally support and care for others.

Studies have shown loving-kindness to support higher levels of perspective-taking and emotional regulation resulting in increased equanimity - the powerful sense of moment-to-moment awareness, conscious wisdom, and thus freedom (source: Mascaro et al 2015).
