Loving-Kindness Meditation

The Loving-Kindness meditation begins with finding a comfortable position and settling into relaxation. The practitioner visualizes a warm, radiant light within their heart, representing love, compassion, and kindness. They extend loving-kindness towards themselves, offering well-wishes for happiness, health, safety, and ease. Then, they expand the practice by directing loving-kindness towards someone close to them, someone neutral, and ultimately towards all beings, envisioning the light of loving-kindness spreading throughout the world. The meditation concludes with a return to the present moment, carrying the cultivated loving-kindness into daily life.
