loving-kindness meditation
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.
During the practice, individuals often start by directing kindness towards themselves, then gradually extend these feelings to loved ones, acquaintances, and even those with whom they have conflicts. This technique can enhance emotional well-being and foster a sense of connection with others.
