Thank you for teaching on metta. You provided such a fertile place to start the “composting” — to understand what I’m aiming for in this meditation. I really appreciate what you said about metta being a software upgrade for our hardwired conditioning. So helpful. Thank you.

The subtle shifts in the wording of the loving-kindness mantras really resonated. Contentment alongside suffering. Safe from inner and outer harm. Ease of body and mind. I also really appreciated the focus on the suffering in my community & offering my own resources of love, kindness and peace to our interconnected sufferings.

In the mornings when I pray, I greet & thank earth, water, fire/sun & air. This meditation helped me feel connected to those elements in myself — a part of everything and nothing all at once. Thank you.
