Loving kindness is straightforward until you get to the person you are actually annoyed with. That is where the practice starts doing something.

This recording guides you through a meditation on loving kindness, the practice of deliberately extending goodwill outward: first to yourself, then to the people you love, then wider, and eventually to the people you would rather leave off the list. It is one of the oldest contemplative practices there is, and it appears in some form in every major tradition.

Being guided makes a real difference here. Left to yourself the mind hurries the difficult part, and the difficult part is the point.

No training or background is required. Arhatic Yoga practitioners will find it sits naturally alongside their own routine.

It suits anyone carrying a grievance they are tired of carrying, anyone in demanding work with people, and anyone who wants a gentle place to begin meditating.
