Guided Meditation on Gratitude

Gratitude is the expression of appreciation for what one has. It is a recognition of value independent of monetary worth. Spontaneously generated from within, it is an affirmation of goodness; affirming that there are good things in the world, gifts and benefits we've received. Begin by simple noticing your breath and be amazed that you have this natural ability to breathe, to nourish your body and soul simply with each breath that you take. Our abilities to breath, see, taste, touch, and feel are all amazing gift, open your heart respond to these gifts with gratefulness. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Guided Meditation on Loving Kindness

Loving kindness, or metta, as it in called in the Pali language, is unconditional, inclusive love, a love with wisdom. Loving kindness meditation is a meditation of care, concern, tenderness, loving kindness, friendship - a feeling of warmth for oneself and others. The practice is the softening of the mind and heart, an opening to deeper and deeper levels of the feeling of kindness, of pure love. Loving kindness is without any desire to possess another. It is not a sentimental feeling of goodwill, not an obligation, but comes from a selfless place. It does not depend on relationships, on how the other person feels about us. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
