Inspired by the form of a loving-kindness or metta meditation. This warming loving-kindness practice is designed to help you cultivate compassion for yourself and for others. It is accompanied by light uplifting music which enhances the practice and enables you to embody and sustain compassion more deeply. You can either simply focus on your breath and listen, or repeat the key phrases of the meditation as a mantra.
