Here I offer a guided meditation by offering the gift of kindness in the form of phrases to strangers. Just thinking about how many people there are in the world, and that each one represents an opportunity to be kind, can be incredibly liberating. This particular set of phrases are composed in a way that allow us hold and honor the challenges of life while connecting to the kindness inherent in our hearts. Then we move into a visualization where we radiate lovingkindness energy out to drench ourselves and our loved ones in the warm energy of lovingkindness. The longer we stay in the experience of lovingkindness, the more our neurons wire and fire together, allowing the passing state of lovingkindness to become a permanent trait. Meditation can be challenging at times. Occasionally we may experience things which surprise as a result. If you have any questions or concerns in regards to this, or other meditation practices, please feel free to message me through my website: www.suchsweetthunder.org I have been practicing meditation for 38 years and has been successfully teaching meditation worldwide since 2009, giving talks, facilitating retreats, and have authored two books.
