Kindness And Compassion (Metta Practice)
by Melo Calarco
This Loving Kindness practice helps us develop a compassionate attitude towards ourselves and others. This practice involves sending Loving Kindness firstly to ourselves then to those around us, even those with whom we may have conflict with. The focus is the repetition of specific sentences which generate feelings of Loving Kindness and compassion for the meditator. Practicing Loving-Kindness teaches us to adopt a calmer and kinder attitude which encourages positive connections between our minds, ourselves and others. When you send kindness and compassion to yourself and those around you, it can be a very empowering and rewarding experience. This practice invites us to train the brain to recognise more positive thoughts and actions. This form of meditation, also known as metta, is a Buddhist concept encompassing ideas of non-romantic love, kindness and non-violence. The more you practice this meditation, the more you rewire your brain in a positive way.
