I have been so stressed, anxious, and hurt by all the negative thoughts and self-doubt. I have been so harsh on myself as well as other people, including my parents, who are the people coming into my mind when I need to imagine someone that loves me unconditionally. Then when I imagine receiving this same love but from myself, I couldn't help but started tearing up. I have not loved myself and really anyone for a long long time. I have never reached this level of clarity, and how the feeling of love should be and can be. I have been not rly living and loving for so long. ❤
I love this loving-kindness meditation. In Jon Kabat-Zinn's own words: "To engage in this way with the loving-kindness meditation is to recognize and nurture your own heart’s essential freedom and inclusiveness, your own humanity in all its beauty, not in some magical future, but here and now, with things exactly as they are in this moment." (Falling Awake - How to Practice Mindfulness in Everyday Life by Jon Kabat-Zinn, PhD). He continues... "In teaching or practicing formal loving-kindness meditation, I sometimes include imagery, emphasizing the direct feeling of loving-kindness rather than relying solely on the traditional phrases associated with evoking it." May I be safe and protected and free from inner and outer harm. May I be happy and contented. May I be healthy and whole to whatever degree possible. May I experience ease of well-being... May she, he, they be safe and protected and free from inner and outer harm. May she, he, they be happy and contented. May she, he, they be healthy and whole to whatever degree possible. May she, he, they experience ease of well-being... May all beings near and far be safe and protected and free from inner and outer harm. May all beings near and far be happy and contented. May all beings near and far be healthy and whole to whatever degree possible. May all beings near and far experience ease of well-being… May our planet and the whole universe be safe and protected and free from harm. May our planet and the whole universe be happy and contented. May our planet and the whole universe be healthy and whole. May our planet and the whole universe experience ease of well-being…
I used to listen to this on CD, and appreciated that it came online when my equipment broke and all I had was a cell phone. His tone and his words are like he is right there. It is, for me, especially helpful in difficult times.
So very powerful. Metta meditation can be a tough one when one is feeling fear, sadness or other conflictive emotions. But opening up to self love and love for others is such a strong antedote to these negative emotions, and itself is a sort of safe haven that can give one a sense of space and reinforce awareness/acceptance.
Wow Mary Jones Shirley Jones spooky. Yes your right I was feeling Low. When summer ends . I always feel sad and lost . Being born in June. I feel most alive and free. From people cruelty in the summer. I have sabbatical from them. When I'm down I think what use to bring me back . Yes it's a loving kindness meditation .
If only 20% of the world population could practice this, the world would have a better chance to turn into paradise… Thank you, Jon!
Love this

Excellent. As The Great Physician, the Buddha, said, hatred does not cease by hatred, it ceases only by love.
You were so kind to ask the source your question. I think it was answered with equal kindness. I thank you both.

That bell is most disturbing.
I love the meditation but for me the bell, or rather, the lack there of when the video ends, is disturbing 💕
