Metta Meditation

In this video, I teach you how to do a Metta Meditation practice, sometimes called Compassion Training or Loving Kindness. This is something you can use at any time to increase self-compassion, and compassion for others.

Here are the words I use:

  • May I be well

  • May I be safe

  • May I be happy

  • May I be healthy

  • May I live with peace

(I repeat this set three times)

And then I move on to use the same words for:

  • A loved one

  • A neutral person

  • A challenging person

  • The whole world

Repeating the set three times for each person.

And then I complete the practice by coming back to myself again.

You can do this in three minutes, ten minutes, twenty minutes - whatever works for you!
