Loving Kindness Meditation: A Hopeful Act of Being AND Doing

Dear friends, I hope you are finding ways to keep yourself peaceful as you navigate the crazy times in which we are living.  This week I want to share one of my favorite types of meditation, a Metta or Loving Kindness Meditation.  I call it “A Hopeful Act of Being and Doing” because it is both a way of being in the world and an action that I believe impacts those around us. 

I made this recording recently, while practicing for leading a meditation with a dear friend.  For the language, I borrowed heavily from a few of my favorite meditation teachers on the Insight Timer app, Moira Hutchinson and Bodhipaksa.  They are masters of the Loving Kindness meditation and I follow humbly in their footsteps. 

The recording is about 11 minutes long.  I hope you can find a few moments to set aside to meditate with this recording, both for yourself and others. 

What practices do you use regularly to help you maintain your well-being and share that goodness with others? 

With Love and Hope,

Colleen
