Metta Bhavana is an ancient form of Buddhist meditation in which we direct all of our love and kindness to ourselves, someone we love, someone we feel neutral about, someone we have struggled with and then to all sentient beings. The language is Pali, Metta translates to 'love' and Bhavana means to 'cultivate'. It can be a very healing meditation however it can be challenging when we direct the love and kindness to someone we have struggled with, maybe even when we direct it to ourselves.
