Thank you so much, Sharon, for this beautiful teaching. I have explored these thoughts and practices throughout my adult life, and have felt very content with my life overall. Others have commented to me on how happy I appear. This, in spite of experiencing myriad hardships and having survived a few threats to my life. At the same time, some of these events have challenged the consistency of my practice and level of happiness. Listening to these ten talks was deeply inspiring in reinspiring my practice and refreshing the fullness of my contentment (the word I’ve been using to name the state of true happiness as you described). May you be safe, enjoy parasympathetic and vagal stability, be healthy, be happy.

This bite-size guided meditation is a subtle gem, an unintimidating intro for beginners and a compassionate incognito reminder of beginner’s mind for the intermediate practitioner. Sharon Salzberg is a blessing to aspiring meditators of the west.

Very nice Metta practice with a beloved voice. There’s a bell at the end so not so good if I’m hoping to doze off but perfect for any other occasion. 9-1-26
