Welcome to this loving kindness meditation. Find a comfortable position, either seated or lying down. Allow your body to settle and your eyes to gently close. Take a slow, deep breath in, and as you exhale, let the weight of the day begin to soften.
Now bring your attention to your heart center. Place a hand there if it feels right. Feel the gentle rhythm of your heartbeat, steady and constant. This is the place from which we will practice.
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 slowly, letting each phrase land softly in your heart.
If it feels difficult to receive these wishes, that is okay. Simply notice, without judgment, and continue. May I be safe. May I be happy. May I be healthy. May I live with ease.
Now bring to mind someone you love. Picture their face, their presence. Offer them these same wishes: May you be safe. May you be happy. May you be healthy. May you live with ease.
Feel the warmth of these wishes flowing from your heart to theirs.
Now think of someone neutral, perhaps a stranger you passed today. They too wish for happiness, just as you do. May you be safe. May you be happy. May you be healthy. May you live with ease.
And now, if you feel ready, bring to mind someone challenging. Without forcing anything, simply offer: May you be safe. May you be happy. May you be healthy. May you live with ease.
Notice any resistance, and let it soften with each breath.
Now expand your awareness outward. To your community, your city, the world. All beings everywhere: May all beings be safe. May all beings be happy. May all beings be healthy. May all beings live with ease.
Rest in this boundless warmth. You are part of this kindness, and it is part of you. When you are ready, take one more deep breath, and slowly open your eyes.
