Loving-kindness meditation: Wishing everyone well, starting with you
Send kind wishes to yourself, then to loved ones, strangers, difficult people and finally all beings. A practice for a softer heart.
Loving-kindness, or metta, builds compassion step by step. Silently offer these wishes, first to yourself:
May you be happy. May you be healthy. May you be safe. May you live with ease.
Then offer them to someone you love, then someone neutral (a cashier, a neighbor), then someone difficult, and finally to all beings everywhere. If the difficult person is too much today, skip them. You can always come back.
Helps with
- Self-love
- Healing relationships
- Resentment
- Heart chakra

Offer the four wishes to yourself and one person you love, just before you fall asleep.
Meditation and breathwork are safe and helpful for most people, but not medical treatment. If a practice brings up distress, stop and ground yourself. People with a history of trauma, dissociation or psychosis may do best practicing with guidance from a qualified professional.
