Gil Fronsdal of the Insight Meditation Center leads this half-hour guided metta meditation. Metta, or loving-kindness, is one of the cornerstones of Buddhist practice and a companion of mindfulness.
Loving kindness practice is a practice of goodwill for oneself and for someone else. Finding inside of us the intention for our own wellbeing and for someone else.
It is not positive affirmations, it is not positive thinking, but it’s like a prayer or a wish inside of us and nurturing it to let it grow towards wishing goodwill towards others.
It is a very significant practice and a central one in Buddhist spiritual practice. It is kind of a tenderizer of the heart.
This half an hour guided meditation begins with the usual comfortable alert posture.
