A beautiful Metta Meditation: Loving Kindness with Yasmin

To practice loving-kindness meditation, sit in a comfortable and relaxed manner. Take two or three deep breaths with slow, long and complete exhalations. Let go of any concerns and take a few minutes, to feel or imagine the breath moving through the centre of your chest – in the area of your heart.

Metta is first practiced toward oneself, since we often have difficulty loving others without first loving ourselves. Sitting quietly, mentally repeat, slowly and steadily, the following phase:

May I be well

May I be happy

May I be peaceful

May I be loved

Then connect with someone that is your life, and then repeat, extending it to other relationships. Allowing your heart to expand each time, imagining these words washing over them.
