Loving-Kindness: Simple Metta

Lovingkindness, also known as "metta," is a Buddhist practice of cultivating goodwill and positive regard toward yourself and others. This condensed practice invites us to expand the goodwill of our hearts to reach ever-widening circles, extending to loved ones, neutral acquaintances, difficult people, animals, and the planet itself.
A longer version can be found under the title "Lovingkindness Deep Immersion." Whether done on the meditation pillow or spontaneously in a day, metta has been shown to decrease stress and anxiety and increase compassion for oneself and others. It is a powerful life-affirming practice. Relax and enjoy.
