Welcome. Find a comfortable position, either seated or lying down. Allow your body to settle. Let your hands rest gently. Take a slow breath in, and let it go.
Let your shoulders soften. Let your jaw relax. There is nowhere else you need to be right now. Only here, only this moment.
Bring your attention to your heart center. Picture a small, warm light glowing there. It might be soft or faint. That is okay. Just notice it.
Now, begin with yourself. Silently repeat these words: May I be safe. May I be happy. May I be healthy. May I live with ease.
If it feels hard to offer yourself kindness, that is normal. Gently try again. May I be safe. May I be happy. May I be healthy. May I live with ease.
Now, bring someone you love to mind. See their face. Feel your natural warmth for them. Send these words their way: May you be safe. May you be happy. May you be healthy. May you live with ease.
Let that warmth grow. Notice how your heart opens when you wish them well. Stay here a moment.
Now, think of someone neutral. A stranger you passed today, perhaps. Someone you do not know well. Offer them the same wishes: May you be safe. May you be happy. May you be healthy. May you live with ease.
Now, if you can, bring to mind someone difficult. Not the hardest person in your life, just someone you find challenging. See if you can offer them a small wish: May you be safe. May you be happy. May you be healthy. May you live with ease.
Notice what arises. You do not have to force anything. Just notice, and let it be.
Now let your awareness expand. To everyone in this building. Everyone on your street. Everyone in your city. All beings everywhere.
May all beings be safe. May all beings be happy. May all beings be healthy. May all beings live with ease.
Feel the warmth in your heart now. It may be small or large. Either is enough. You have done something kind today.
Take one slow breath in. And out.
When you are ready, open your eyes. Carry this warmth with you.
