Dankbarkeit
45:28

Renate Seifarth

Wenn wir Metta für unsere Wohltäter üben, spüren wir eine große Dankbarkeit aufsteigen, die uns füllt und nährt. Eine kurze Reflexion während des Tages, was wir alles Schönes erfahren haben, führt uns den täglichen Reichtum vor Augen. Das braucht ein innehalten und Vieles nicht für selbstverständlich nehmen.

Reflection on goodwill
11:18

Ajahn Sucitto

Acknowledge the capacity and willingness we have as humans for goodwill – and the horrific capacity we have for ill will. We use our practice to turn our attention towards goodwill and to exercise our ability to notice and generate heart energies. Metta allows us to put aside harmful energies and thoughts and to be grateful for the expanded state of mind that it brings. Equanimity means staying emotionally present regardless of our reaction to experience. We avoid perfectionist tendencies and ideas about what we should or should not do and maintain a generous heart.

Metta/Lovingkindness and Purification of negative mental factors
53:48
|
|
Bonnie Duran
|
|
|
Metta/Lovingkindness practice strengthens wholesome mental factors and allows us to see more clearly our negative mental factors. Seeing more clearly an important source of our suffering, hate/aversion, we are able to work more directly for our own and others' happiness.

Simple Metta Breathing and Metta Body Scan
40:12
|
|
Tempel Smith
|
|
|
To form the foundation for loving-kindness meditation we invite the attitude of kindness, calm, and simplicity to our breath and body awareness. For many, this is the most simple and suitable metta meditation, and once embodied this metta meditation becomes the basis for radiating healthy lovingkindness to our selves and all beings. This is also the meditative foundation to ripen the five jhana factors leading to full absorption.
