Welcome. Find a comfortable position, either seated or lying down. Let your body settle. Let your hands rest easily. Take a slow breath in, and as you breathe out, feel yourself arriving here, in this moment.
Let your eyes close if that feels right. Feel the weight of your body being supported. There is nothing to fix right now. Nothing to chase. Just this.
Bring your attention to your chest, to the gentle rhythm of your breathing. With each breath, imagine a soft warmth beginning to glow there, like a small candle flame.
Now, bring yourself to mind. Silently repeat these words: May I be safe. May I be happy. May I be healthy. May I live with ease.
Again, gently: May I be safe. May I be happy. May I be healthy. May I live with ease. Let the words rest in your heart without effort.
Now bring to mind someone you love. Picture their face. Feel your natural warmth for them. Offer them these same words: May you be safe. May you be happy. May you be healthy. May you live with ease.
May you be safe. May you be happy. May you be healthy. May you live with ease. Feel your heart opening toward them, soft and wide.
Now bring to mind someone neutral. A person you see but do not know well. Perhaps a neighbor, a stranger on the street. They too carry hopes and worries, just like you. Silently offer: May you be safe. May you be happy. May you be healthy. May you live with ease.
And now, if you are ready, bring to mind someone difficult. Not the hardest person, just someone mildly challenging. See them as human, doing their best. Offer gently: May you be safe. May you be happy. May you be healthy. May you live with ease.
Notice what arises. Whatever it is, let it be there. Now widen your attention to include all beings everywhere. All people, all creatures, near and far: May all beings be safe. May all beings be happy. May all beings be healthy. May all beings live with ease.
Feel this wish spreading outward, like ripples on water, touching everything. You are part of this warmth. You belong to it.
Slowly return to your breath. Feel your body again. Notice the quiet space you have created. Carry this tenderness with you as you gently open your eyes.
Thank you for practicing.
