We're All In This Together (24) - Recommendation: Loving Kindness Practice (Metta)
Dear All,
I would like to recommend 'Metta,' Loving Kindness recital, as a practice to sooth the heart and heal the world in these difficult times. I explain how in this talk.
Metta is a visualization practice in which we summon feelings within to match the words we say, e.g., contentment when we speak of contentment, peace when we wish for peace. We begin with ourself, then a loved one, a friend, a stranger we may have passed on the street, a difficult person in life, and finally all sentient beings. We say these words:
1. May he(I/she/we) be free of suffering; may he(I/she/we) feel safe and still.
2. May he(I/she/we) be free of enmity; may he(I/she/we) be loving, grateful and kind.
3. May he(I/she/we) be healthy and at ease in all his(my/her/our) ills.
4. May he(I/she/we) be at peace, embracing all conditions of life
