Think About It

Loving-kindness

The practice of metta, or loving-kindness, fosters unconditional friendliness toward the self and others. In this abbreviated version of the traditional form, send metta to yourself by inwardly repeating the following verses: 


"May I be happy. May I be healthy. May I be secure. May I live in peace." Then silently direct those wishes to everyone you meet today, replacing the "I" with "you".

[From 1,001 Meditations Mike George]
