Welcome. Find a comfortable position, either seated or lying down. Let your hands rest gently, and allow your eyes to close, or soften your gaze downward. Take a slow breath in through your nose, and let it go with a gentle sigh out through your mouth.
Again, breathe in deeply, and release.
Now let your breath find its own natural rhythm, and bring your attention to the center of your chest, to the space around your heart.
Begin by offering kindness to yourself. Silently repeat these words: May I be safe. May I be happy. May I be healthy. May I live with ease.
Say them softly, like a whisper to a dear friend. May I be safe. May I be happy. May I be healthy. May I live with ease.
Notice any warmth that begins to gather in your chest. If it feels distant, that is okay. Simply keep offering the words.
Now bring to mind someone you love. Picture their face, and hold them gently in your heart. Offer them these same wishes: May you be safe. May you be happy. May you be healthy. May you live with ease.
Feel your heart open as you send them warmth. May you be safe. May you be happy. May you be healthy. May you live with ease.
Next, think of someone neutral, perhaps a stranger you passed today. They, too, wish for happiness. Silently offer: May you be safe. May you be happy. May you be healthy. May you live with ease.
Notice how kindness flows just as easily toward them.
Now, if you feel ready, bring to mind someone difficult. Without forcing anything, offer softly: May you be safe. May you be happy. May you be healthy. May you live with ease.
This may feel hard, and that is alright. Simply offer what you can.
Now let your awareness expand outward. Include everyone around you, your community, all people everywhere. May all beings be safe. May all beings be happy. May all beings be healthy. May all beings live with ease.
Rest here in this open, warmhearted space. Feel the kindness you have cultivated, like a quiet glow in your chest.
Take one slow, deep breath in, and as you exhale, gently return your attention to the room around you. Wiggle your fingers and toes. When you are ready, open your eyes, carrying this warmth with you into your day.
