Guided Loving-Kindness (Metta) Meditation

Sometimes, if yer lucky, I laugh.

(How do I meditate?) This loving-kindness session is a guided meditation that runs 30 minutes, the prescribed time for a sitting. It is based on the metta instructions of Ven. Vimalaramsi. Metta is part of the Four Brahma Viharas found and described in the earliest Buddhists discourses. This meditation leads directly to a deep awakening of the heart and mind.

• PODBEAN for easy listening (iPhone or Android)

Spend the first 10-15 minutes radiating loving-kindness to yourself and the balance of the meditation radiating loving-kindness to a "spiritual friend," a kalyana-mitta (described in the audio).

Do this daily and if progress appears, when it appears, please contact Dhamma Sukha Meditation Center for further guidance at info@dhammasukha.org.
