Can you imagine a world where everyone practices Metta, cultivating unconditional love, kindness, and goodwill towards themselves and others? Join us on this enlightening journey with Zaw Maw, a Buddhist practitioner, as we dive deep into the concept of Metta and its profound impact on our lives. From its roots in Pali and Burmese languages to its powerful effect on shifting our focus from negativity to love, Zaw guides us through Metta's mental, physical, and verbal aspects, sharing a traditional sutra for our practice. As we explore Buddhist cosmology and its connection to loving kindness, we uncover the discipline and structure required in our practice, reminding ourselves that Metta is not a replacement for difficulty. Learn how to teach our children simple phrases to start their day and discover the emotional connection and visualization involved in cultivating compassion for ourselves and others. By the end of this episode, you'll feel that contagious loving energy, equipping you with the tools to improve your health and wellness through the power of Metta. So, tune in, and let's spread love and kindness together! Videos on our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@RecoveryCollective Visit our website!
