    Mark Coleman, a meditation teacher, author and nature-based mindfulness guide, leads a guided meditation, the Lake Metta Meditation. You visualize a vast turquoise lake infused with qualities of metta, of love.

    Our 8 Mindfulness Exercises for Love and Compassion go further into the same theme as this 23-minute Lake Metta Meditation. From trauma and depression to anger and contempt, a variety of human experiences can act as invitations to deepen our sense of love. As we open our hearts to a broader way of viewing ourselves, our pasts, and those around us, our experience of compassion may grow. These 8 mindfulness exercises are examples of practices and teachings we can explore in our search for greater peace, happiness, and unconditional acceptance.
