Here I offer a guided meditation by offering the gift of lovingkindness in the form of phrases, first to ourselves then to people who we feel challenged by. 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 35 years and has been successfully teaching meditation worldwide since 2009, giving talks, facilitating retreats, and have authored two books. I have received formal training in Theravada, Mahayana (Tibetan, Zen,) and Vedanta meditation techniques as well as Trauma Sensitive Mindfulness, MBSR, and Buddhist Psychology. I teach from a secular voice and I am passionate about bringing timeless wisdom teachings to people of any faith, belief system, or tradition.
