Meditation: Metta (Lovingkindness)

Meditation: Begin Again

A simple meditation for a fresh start.

Meditation: Metta (Lovingkindness)

Metta meditation, also known as loving-kindness meditation, is a simple practice for cultivating kindness and goodwill—toward yourself and others. It’s not about trying to force yourself to feel a certain way, but rather gently opening up to the natural warmth and care that’s already inside you. As we practice today, you’ll silently repeat some simple phrases, almost like planting seeds of kindness. And don’t worry if it feels a bit unusual at first—just stay open, curious, and relaxed. Over time, you might find this practice brings a bit more ease and connection into your everyday life. 00:00 Introduction 02:59 Meditation Practice Begins 16:14 A Few Closing Thoughts Check out https://naturaldharma.org/
