In times when the world feels heavy with conflict and uncertainty, finding inner peace isn’t an escape,it’s a necessity. metta or maitri, the Buddhist practice of cultivating lovingkindness and unconditional friendliness, teaches us something vital: we can’t pour from an empty cup. Before we can hold space for the suffering around us, we need to tend to our own hearts. This meditation invites you to pause and to practice sending healing energy both inward and outward. When we find peace within ourselves, we become a source of peace in the world. One breath, one moment at a time. Join me in this practice as we navigate these challenging times together.
