This is a short self-meta practice which has origins in Buddhism and the idea is that we send meta,
Loving kindness,
To ourselves in a number of stages and then we finish by sending meta to all sentient beings.
So the practice has four stages and if you like to set yourself up in a position where you'll feel comfortable for eight minutes or so,
Either sitting with your back supported or lying down,
Whichever you find most comfortable.
And now we'll begin.
Self-meta in four stages.
