I enjoy the kindness in your voice and your words. Sorry but I was distracted by the fistling in the background and the aeroplane flying by. Thank you.
Please record this beautiful tape again with better quality as it’s difficult to take in the thoughts ❤
This is the only Kristin Neff meditation I listen to because it doesn’t have a bell at the start and the end. I’m not sure why, but the bell causes my heart to start racing - not something you want to experience at the start or the end of a meditation. As far as the background noise is concerned, that doesn’t bother me at all. I wish she had more meditations without that bell.
Thanks so much. I cried for the first time in a few years. Im grateful for that. With regards to the background sound, I didnt mind. I need to be able to meditate in all situations. But I understand people's issues.
Recently I attend a convention and the meditation took place whilst the roar of other attendees was heard outside the room. I was grateful that the leader never once brought our attention to the background roar. It was one of the most significant meditation hours Ive had.
This meditation is quite good because of the voice , expression and intonation of the person saying it. it's good to hear someone who doesn't sound like an emotionless robot unlike the other meditation TH-cam voices.
Loving kindness for myself today, tonight, right now, in this moment.
I am fully here, I am fully enjoying the now
I am meditating, the power of now is all we really have, I am glad
This poem is a memorial to this second which is not wasted.
Power of now - an all new original poem - "This haiku is a shrine to this moment which is not wasted!"
Thank you for sharing this meditation. I will come back to this one!
Wow. This is one of the most beautiful and heartfelt metta meditations I’ve come across. I loved the gradual expansion and pacing. Thank you so much for holding and sharing this loving kindness space. 🙏
Thank you so much for this! I appreciate your work so much, Dr. Neff! It’s made a HUGE difference in my life. 💛💛💛
Loving kindness for you, Lionheart, may you find it always easier to let the benevolent qualities of your heart beam through, may the things you gained from this meditation be real benefits throughout your life, in other words an increase of wisdom. May you enjoy a less demanding life and not have to be on edge constantly, may you sleep well and may you continue to enjoy meditation and cause good in the world through wholesome virtues. Loving kindness, please turn off appliances when not in use, thank you for you environmentalist efforts. May you always have a friend, health, and a warm place to sleep.
Your heart is improving in health because you are here...
Loving kindness you sit still in meditation, undisturbed by the events of the world, attaining inner peace.
Loving kindness, the rivers around you are cleaner because the heart is open and preventing misfortunes, loving kindness the forests around you will live and they will live all over the earth because the heart is rooted with them and the heart makes them everlasting with the unending care of a mother.
Loving kindness, the laws of your region are becoming more environmentally friendly due to the influence of wise people from all levels of affluence and all cultures. You will see less exploitation and more recycling bins, you will see people living lives that make more sense and going to mother nature for wisdom and spiritual healing. You will see people learning about herbs and edible wild growth plants. Loving kindness, these herbs will be greatly helpful to the people and their returned gratitude will save the ecosystem.
Loving kindness for you, Lionheart, we will describe you as a quality of selflessness! When you humbly appreciated the effects of the compassion presence, you stumbled onto the exact same principle that created and sustains all life. You carry a two handed bag, in one pocket, a sacred green herb, in the other, bulbs of fresh garlic. Loving kindness, you enjoy the taste of the garlic. However it also has an effect of purging for the aura, detrimental aura blockages are removed just like soap removes dirt. You also remain close to the herb, the earth element in States of spiritual appreciation, elements are detoxifies and brought back to wholesomeness.
Loving kindness, sincerity holds true in what you say and the emphasis you have, the wisdom that you have gained here truly has improved your meditation.
It is not a small fortune that you recieve all the nutrients you need physically and spiritually
It is wisdom in the moderation of knowing. Loving kindness, you've compassionately enshrined a doctor of the heart who has acted through a wavelength of the heart, without need for physical medicines, in order to open and enhance the experiences of consciousness to meta, loving kindness. You've in fact cared for someone who was kind
Good luck occurs in situations both related and unrelated to this
Lovingkindness, you find an amiable emotion inside, a tree grows from that emotion, it is as organic as a tree, free and winding, not a perfect symmetry, yet balanced in nature's unformulaic genius. That tree even produces flowers and fruits, it has no particular person of thing as its inspiration, creation itself in any kind is inspiring.
The tree has such an effect upon the energy that it has no enemies, and by absorbing its teaching and fruits you have also emanated this same quality. This tree will be with you all your life. You will always be with the earth you see today, the ecosystem will continue to be lush and full of teachings. Surprisingly in large part due to meditations just like this one that our hearts humanity evolves into a more beauty loving race and back to more comfortable ana harmony with all life forms on the planet. Loving kindness, you will be met with amiableness if you practice this meditation even twice!
Thank you for being present in this video to guide me to a calmer kinder me today. Xx
Loving kindness for Heather Friend, may she find herself in the full experience of this meditation enable to live a life without harming others and without being harmed, a life full of all she needs and where she is what others need as well in many ways. Loving kindness Heather is beautiful and may it be easy for her beauty to be at it's best. The relaxed expression of buddhahood is no less buddhahood. Every day she becomes calmer and every day she becomes kinder, every day this makes her and the world around her cuter and cuter, every day there's healing because of the moment of Heather's good heart. Thank you Heather Friend, Avalokitesvara is protecting you
❤️
Lovingkindness kindness for Heather Friend, she is exceptionally beautiful, let her exist in the world be seen and appreciated but not blocked, and let more of the beauty of the world be like this, appreciated but not exploited.
She is making the world cuter, she is Buddha. Be compassionate towards her.
Also unrelated but;
Eco reminder

(Spiritually wise)
Lovingkindness, I will have a good day today, and so will everyone, to good health!

Loving-kindness for myself
Loving kindness I have no enemies
Loving kindness, today is Thanksgiving in the United States. Chiefly, may everyone get the food they need and may it be especially nourishing, tasty, and spiritually wholesome on this day. Also, may those who do not have groups to go to also be able to have a decent eating experience as well, lovingkindness for those bodhisattvas serving food professionally on Thanksgiving, as well as all the families wisely and gratefully cooking their own feasts.
I am grateful that a couple hundred years ago Native Americans benevolently chose to share this wonderful land of America, what many tribes call Turtle Island, and I am respectful in that remembrance honestly hoping that the behavior of new arrivals to the American continent doesn't create hardship for it's wild life or it's native peoples. Lovingkindness, in modern days the native American population enjoys great respect from the general American people on whole, informally and with our hearts we are reverential and open, listening and this attitude changes the way that higher government has dealt acting as a catalyst for a very significant increase in leniency to the wishes and demands of the authentic tribes by the American Government.
In reputation, the USA is seen as wonderful for the beauty wisdom and traditions of it's indigenous inhabitors, foreigners think it is one of the main prides of America aside from it's great diversity and opportunity in liberty. Americans reinforce that perception with our engagement and treatment of the Thanksgiving day.
We wonder how native American means and wisdom influences and supports our government at this time. We give thanks for the grounding that the tribes offer to other Americans when Americans are well behaved and respectful of the native paths
That's an interesting speech I'm from Australia we have Australia Day soon every year the descendants of the Australian Aboriginals get really angry over the celebration and talk about their land being stolen despite a massive effort to give them much of their land back, Free education, rights to hunt for food out of fishing season, health care ext.
I just completed this guided meditation, and wow. I balled my eyes out for the first half. It reminds me of tonglen, really beautiful. I will listen and process compassion for myself, others, and the world again soon. Thank you for making this video.
Thanks for sharing!
Lovingkindness for garlic plants
I needed this, just now. Thank you so very much! 🥰 . I needed some self compassion. 😌
We're so happy to hear that this was nourishing for you.
Yes, I am also merciful upon my self
And then my self reveals more truth
Truth is kind
The Buddha also said this thing, let us have mercy on ourselves, even if we are emptiness, let us be the Buddha emptiness
Because nothingness
Is always there
The Buddha is eternal, in this way I am merciful to realize that nothingness is happiness.
Lovingkindness for all the people with dreadlocks and the conscious philosophy working deskjobs in the Washington DC area free of inhibition regarding hair or use of the herbal medicine. May they be able to influence and do the most good to lift society to the higher vibration level of freedom not be corrupted and lose the true flame. Jah bless
I am drunk with divine love! (Not with alcohol that toxifies the body,
Purely with love for heaven that I see in all around me, for I look with the eyes of divine gratitude)
Thank you
Welcome!
Loving kindness for Maria Bauman, wisdom and natural beauty is increasing in her daily consciousness, the heart of this meditation circle dwells with her at this time, may the energy of pure compassion bring all she needs and more that can inspire good for all, this kindness is bringing good karma habits and cycles more intensely into her life, she is breaking away from nonoptimal influences and her chakras are improving. Maria is safe and she and those around her are healthier now than they were before! Thats a good feeling! WE ARE GRATEFUL! BEAUTIFUL SOUL
the Power of Now - Here is strategically aimed loving-kindness coming from the U.S. and brazilian governments, both whom have been actively shutting down proposed construction projects throughout the world for the past month and will continue the new trend hopefully taken up by other governments as well. This kind of strategic 'metta' will help the literal plants first and foremost and later because of the wisdom and purpose in those plants it becomes loving kindness for all life on the planet.
Thank you for sharing all of that
Loving kindness for life in Brazil.
Buddhist monks are meditating for you with compassion; you are spared sickness, loving kindness you will meet favourable clean circumstances. Loving kindness, you will always have the Amazon rainforest with you, it will not be desecrated.
A light beam of kindness emanates from the heart of buddha purifying and increasing joys and health in brazil for all life.
There is no suffering, nothing exists, samskaras are dissolved and the soul rests, rejuvenating in the buddha-state.
Lovingkindness meditation
Loving kindness, thanks mindfulness exercises, for the Amazon Rainforest! This is a ❤ of fertility soaring over the amazon, emptying the life experiences of all Consciousness there of greed, malice and selfishness, never underestimate the intelligence of love.
Diamond sutra~ Heart Chakra is functioning well, love "compassion" is a powerful, even in ways revolutionary vibration, you show signs that you enter the Samadhi state, oneness and lack of division, total relaxation and insight, even if beyond words. You set roots in this state, that of permanent truth and use to it to exist freely, not by bondage in the world as it seems without understanding. The innocent beginner world we all come to, it does not need to ever harm, wisdom lantern of bodhisattva compassion lights rejuvenates and heals, it is the natural light within every flower seen with the buddha eye!
Lovingkindness, it is the preservation and sowing of seeds of this profound buddha wisdom, that cure all ailments of body, consciousness and the soul, and also that preserve the roots and natural gifts of the earth; all plant life has the buddha nature! The way is nonlinear, every step can be the final one, there fore we are grateful for the now; philosophprum
Excellent
Thanks
You are kinder towards me than you were
Meditation explained simply
Meditation, from focal meditation to mindfulness entails the avoidance of all conscious discursive or unpredictable transitive (act-outcome) or ‘what if’ decision making or judgement that represents past, present and future judgments that can easily transition into perseverative thought (i.e. regret, distraction, and worry). In other words, meditation is reducing discursive thinking by being in the moment or ‘mindful’. The avoidance of discursive thinking or ‘mind wandering’ prevents the development of future perseverative conflicts and results in the covert musculature becoming inactive, or a pleasurable state of rest. Relaxation is achieved by avoiding discursive judgment rather than all judgment, while the subsequent pursuit of purposive non-discursive or meaningful behavior sustains and enhances the positive affect due to relaxation. (This is exemplified in cognitive strategies such as savoring, loving-kindness mediation, and flow experiences that couple positive ideation with relaxed states) Thus meditation, to be effective, must represent a dual cognitive strategy that couples the inhibition of discursive thinking with subsequent non-discursive or meaningful judgment or thought.
A more formal explanation from a neurologically based learning theory is provided on pp. 44-51 in a little open-source book on the psychology of rest linked below. (The flow experience is discussed on pp. 82-87.)

garlic aura: Lovingkindness for myself, the spirit of 'people' around me have been practicing more appreciation for my role, in this way they are more sensitive (this is none other but the 3rd eye resonance concept re-emerging) to these gentle waves of energy healing that are manifesting around me and rolling outwards. The root is virtuous, I am able to be grounded and allow the helpful words have maximum amplifying benefit. I am in a chakra conscious mode of existence, in order for the energy attuned and emanating to reach the world in the easiest way, however it is not necessary for everyone, or all those who benefit to be especially aware in detail. I see the energy able to do more with less because the alignments are slightly improved by a few small 'common sense' changes of approach. THANKSGIVING (all beings receive their karma)
This is not a heart chakra blockage
This is something new for the hearts
They are going to heart experts
And ultimately it's agreed this is how this all can be most wisely held
The heart has a lot at the door energetically, it will be able to process it
Hearts are working together
Hearts are looking at themselves , they are loving deeply this is such a large heart experience that it needed to have roots
With the heart helping you everything will work out
The heart will keep causing good circulation
It's just a wise philosophy we were lucky it was conveniently placed! Btw Very cute girls!
Need this bad right now! Thank you for making this and helping me feel much better!!!!! ❤️✨🙏🏼💕
Very glad you found Kristin Neff's meditation helpful! Warm wishes to you.
:) 慈しみThis is loving kindness for Erin Brown
It is heart chakra
*Angel bestowing lasting happiness on Erin Brown*
Lovingkindness this is an angel (not a human being, not ego, not this internet user) looking into Erin's karma... Good deeds are rewarded
Loving-kindness for the Brazilian people, they will keep winning eco victories, despite the worst efforts of some bad people, BRAZIL WILL NOT BE GOING DOWN AS A COUNTRY THAT IS NOT LIBERAL- brazilian REAL democracy
So most probably be wiser in this specific situation. Unfortunately, I had made the mistake i of calling to mind a child "someone whose story you don't know". It could have worked out worse. For the good part the meditations genuinely pleasant in probably more challenging circumstances, so one doesn't remain stuck. I try to alternate between faith and meditation which works out for me.
It was more for troubleshooting.
why the computer sounds in the meditation ☹️
HUG A TREE TODAY, AND RECITE LOVING KINDNESS FOR A PLANT 3 TIMES, WISDOM WILL APPEAR AND THE ENVIRONMENT WILL BE SUSTAINED ON OUR PLANET
- THE EASY MODE PRAYER
Loving kindness, overall less trees have been harmed or otherwise disturbed by pollution in the past 3 days. (It is a yogic kriya, uncontrollable spontaneous effect as result of the fluctuating 'kundalini')
There is no proof that the effects are related to the tree hugs, they seem to be yogic kriya,
however people want to continue hugging the trees in order to preserve fertility on the planet,
Loving kindness for Japan, may it not live fearfully but have confidence, may it have the mercy of the nations around it and may it share it's wisdom in peace not be drawn into conflict by ignorance. Loving kindness for the artforms and exports of Japan, may they be appreciated and may their wisdoms be absorbed, loving kindness for zen. Loving kindness may Japan be ecofriendly not use nuclear power
I really appreciate the meditation itself but found all the background noise and dry mouth noises extremely distracting. There’s some great tech out there to help elevate this wonderful mediation.
Could you please recommend what’s is the best tech for this.
Loving-kindness, Independence day is in 6 days. America is independent of the British, not a controlled colony. We have freedom and rights of fair treatment in this country that the British do not have secured. We are free in this country from the arbitrary taxing of a Monarch ruler.
I believe modern americans are sharp enough to see that with the inundation of the media with references to royal families of europe, British troops are trying to collect taxes in a sneaky way. It is the fruit of the aware buddhist community that this is prevented.
Insightful and perceptive American government is preventing allocatement of funds to the monarch regions of the world. We think for ourselves and keep what is ours.
On July 4, may americans experience the inner lights of original unguided insights that free them and keep them free in this world, of beauty and opportunity. May the light there energize and heal them, may it purify them, unlike artificially made fireworks (though there will be a good share of that, now more environmentally friendly in design than ever before)
Lovingkindness, may the boundaries and integrity of the american philosophy remain pure of the corruption intended by its naysayers, and freedom and original unfettered thought prevail.
Guided meditation is not appropriate therefore, for this celebration of american freedom, instead let us take the freeform approach and strengthen the seeds of zen in our culture. Just sitting and being aware of freedom, openness to join or leave any group, but ultimately relying on ones own personal power.
May everyone be safe and healthy on July 4, and may they get to do what they want and not be harmful to others! Remember to recycle
Lovingkindness, allow me to get takeout food tonight. And if there is wisdom anywhere around me, let it be absorbed
Lovingkindness, allow everyone at the restaurant to successfully meditate
And not have an overwhelming schedule, to have the time
And spiritual condition to pick up the zen fruits hidden throughout
The experience of life itself.
Loving kindness, may the art of restaurants continue to be able to suit a need of
The bellies of the world, under conditions of compassion.
Loving kindness, may everyone have good food, and may the earth continue to blossom, hosting a mostly vegetarian humanity
In a relationship of equanimous symbiosis, not unhealthy imbalance.
Lovingkindness for all restaurant chefs who make vegetarian options easy to get for customers,
You will find tofu costumers, not too few customers. Environmentalism, loving kindness, please use already existing buildings, not new construction
Loving kindness, now let us allow this same treat for a random homeless person! Kindness from the top chef, a restaurant giving a charity meal every month in person. Heart chakras petals are unfurled
I am grateful for the new vegetarian options becoming more common at restaurants
And in grocery stores and, before we get into Thanksgiving season officially in America, I would like to use this opportunity to ask
For an even more expanded vegetarian menu! And please, please, only invest in non-gmo foods, don't cut anything a hippy wouldn't (bad attachments are fine, trees are for hugging not maiming) not give ourselves a bad trip here. - opinions of stoners (420 enlightened America) who eat consciously
Aloha
Loving kindness for the Brazilians, their environmentalist intents will ultimately play out with great success. They do a lot, really, in observance of not overtaxing mother earth, on the other side of the spectrum, they still must do their best, however compassion more often swoops in its attractive head and manifesting practically as situations that are less strained, such as violent confrontations to protect natural treasures. Why this change? It is due to evolution of the spirit energies connection.
It is due to fertility, in its true form, and it is due to the enthusiasm with which the wise seek and support justice. Loving kindness for the new beauty and new spiritual meditation insights that will come from Brazil, there is too much of a personal power culture for it to become communism, there are too many brazilians out in the world standing for backbone righteousness and in established brazil enjoying the brazilianness of it all for true bows to immorality, in terms of speech suppression or vampirism in its many forms. Loving kindness for all the big forests on the Earth!
Loving kindness, Brazil, you are heart chakra, you are 'purging', getting rid of some horrible poisoners in government, who really have no constitutional right to be a part of your government, you succeed in this, you are a testimony to the healing purifying power in nature. The world respects. Do what you must do for the healing to settle fully. Liberal fate
Loving kindness, Brazil, you are more righteous than you were two weeks ago, this is less corruption and more adherence to life by morality by all walks of life. Karma has caught up to you and its result is ultimately good for the whole. Because there is less corruption and more respect for mother nature's wisdom in the forests, you are able to receive more kindness. Self respect
Where was that filmed?
Would have been great but she doesn't know how to control her mic so it's very disturbing. How do you meditate with someone to find peace if the person giving the meditation can't sit still?
what a perfect opportunity for you to practice acceptance;))
Loving kindness for the government with good karma

angel bestowing lasting happiness
in america
zen monks raking money away from the army and wisely sending it to american schools with the people's approval*
American schools wisely investing in environmentalism chiefly.. it all comes full circle
This is a spirit of Lasting happiness
Loving-kindness, there is american ginseng growing in forests all over montgomery county and all of maryland, they should not construct anything new there. There are laws against disturbing these plants
You might want to do this over and not pause quite so long between speaking. I thought the video was over several times when in fact you were just taking way too long of a pause. Constructive criticism.
Loving kindness for the United States democrats
ZEN
Lovingkindness for President Biden, the role of Presidency with Biden led to the United States and the world restored to good health after a horribly debilitating fiasco of health with the Coronavirus, in a sense, it is not coincidence I think, it wouldn't have necessarily happened under anyone is what I am saying. President Biden is a very healthy person, I think that it's compassionate towards the United States that it had a nice liberal president at the time where it truly needed it most, and also liberally more than that!
The people are healthy, so lovingkindness for President Biden and for the health and environmentalism in the middle of success.
Lovingkindness may President Biden always have the health and the wealth that he needs and therefore may it be because the United States will always have the health and the spirit given wealth that it needs, that is the result of liberty.
Loving kindness for Buddhism in the United states. Biden was introduced to the loving kindness practice of sending metta and not weaponry and ensuring peace through Buddhist influence in the United States. The Buddhist teachings and sights of occasional monks in chan are not entirely foreign at the traveller centers and on the streets of the major American cities and some enlightened smaller towns, the Americans are inspired and quietly humored yet respectful by the Buddhist, there is a high amount of Buddhist comprehension and openness to dharma.
Lovingkindness, I see only appreciativeness, not malice and discontent for the heart of U.S. President Joe Biden. Environmentalism means picking up one local tree see and planting a tree, I see a president not stumbling clumsily but divesting their pockets of collected local seeds at each visited place, Buddhist seeds sprouting forth today.
I sense that Biden is listening to our urges to fortify the wholesomeness of the heart and there is a compassionate hand of environmentalist forest preserving beauty surrounding the capital area of the United States now. The heart is the confirmed philosophy, heart chakra blockage removal is what has happened and it must be understood as that. Hearts are no longer broken but standing for principles of fairness equality and liberty, seeing beyond differences and ultimately returning to a theme of deep rooted peace and abandonment of violence.
Very fidgety person and noisy background, I found it distracting, sounds like she's near a busy highway!
