Description

Settle in for a gentle loving-kindness (metta) practice—an ancient meditation for cultivating warmth, goodwill, and an open heart. We’ll offer simple phrases of well-wishing to a sequence of recipients (benefactor, self, friend, neutral person, difficult person, all beings). Go at your own pace, adapt the wording so it feels sincere, and let the intention—not perfection—lead. A regular Metta practice can increase positive emotion, support emotional regulation, and nurture a steady, compassionate presence.
