Copleston Mindfulness I
Loving-Kindness meditation (sometimes called Metta meditation) is a great way to cultivate our propensity for kindness. It involves mentally sending goodwill, kindness, and warmth towards others by silently repeating a series of mantras.
In this continuation, Thich Nhat Hanh considers how Vipassana and Loving Kindness can help us deal with the more painful aspects of life, such as ageing, disease and even death. But explains how love is the antidote & that love can be a practice
Recorded live at Alameda Sangha. Deb talks about how working with Metta is often challenging. She discuss 4 tools we can use to help us through the stuck places we encounter, rto soften, open, and gladden the heart. Followed by a guided meditation.
Other mindfulness-based meditations may cultivate a softer, more spacious, kinder mind, but this meditation focuses on best wishes and goodwill first to ourselves and then, in a ripple effect, to others. Important during #covid times.
