Ringing In 2019 Day Two: Be Good To Me (Metta I)

How can we expect to have a peaceful world if we're not peaceful within our own heart? How can we learn to sit in meditation or formal mindfulness practice with ourselves if we can't bear to be alone with ourself without distractions? Having a subconscious that is not at ease with oneself is a barrier to practice. Today's practice teaches us several ways to practice gentleness and loving-kindness (metta) towards ourselves so we can feel at greater ease within ourselves and in the world.

Such sweet and exceptional guidance and practice. 🙏🌈🕊

A great way to engage with loving myself. Thank you Salima for rocking this!

Thank you! I love you!🙏

I liked the first set. Placing emphasis on the words you suggested kept a smile on my face throughout which rarely happens in meditation and is much needed. Second series was so so. Third series was extremely powerful and floods of tears rolled down my cheeks after the first two stanzas. Although this meditation is especially painful for me, it is also the one needed most. Thank-you so very much for your contribution to IT. I will seek out your course.

Exactly what I needed to hear today. Thank you

Helpful practical tips for really embodying loving kindness prayer!

Beautiful support to self love and compassion
