Loving-kindness meditation is a practice that focuses on developing an attitude of love and compassion towards oneself and others. It typically involves silently repeating phrases that express good wishes, such as "May I be happy" or "May you be safe." This meditation helps cultivate positive emotions and reduces negative feelings like anger and resentment. The practice often begins with self-directed phrases before extending these wishes to loved ones, acquaintances, and even those with whom one has conflicts. Research suggests that loving-kindness meditation can enhance emotional well-being, increase empathy, and improve overall mental health.
