In this simple loving-kindness practice, I guide you in finding compassion, love and peace in your heart. The original name of the meditation practice is metta bhavana, which comes from the Pali language. Metta means ‘love’ (in a non-romantic sense), friendliness, or kindness: thus ‘loving-kindness’ for short. It is an emotion, something you feel in your heart. Bhavana means development or cultivation. So together in this traditional Buddhist meditation, we work to develop compassion.
