Lovingkindness becomes full when it is energetically experienced in our bodies. This meditation guides us in awakening the receptivity, warmth and openness of metta through our body, and then invites us to rest in the space of loving presence, as we open to whatever arises.

2020-05-28 Day 3 - Meditation Instructions - Open Palm Attention 51:56
Nathan Glyde
Expanding the world through skilful wholesome modes of relating. When there is an object in attention there is always some degree of push or pull happening. The contraction is what holds attention there. It is not something we’re doing wrong, it is the nature of experience. What happens when we invite an opening in the contraction, either in the body sense, or the sense of awareness, or by bringing in a bit more metta in the atmosphere of attending?

2020-05-27 Metta Undefined 42:58
Nathan Glyde
Letting metta be expansive, unconstrained, vaster than vast, beyond boundaries, so that it can fabricate more and more well-being. Metta is an expression and experience of non-dukkha, it is a skilful delightful way of relating that brings wellbeing, it is a compass for practice, and it is so much more too.

2020-05-26 Metta to Self or Other (with chanting) 43:44

Sabbe sattā averā hontu. Sabbe sattā abyāpajjhā hontu. Sabbe sattā anighā hontu. Sabbe sattā sukhi attānaa pariharantu.

2020-05-23 Bringing Metta to Life 49:44
Yuka Nakamura
How can we practise Metta - benevolence - in the midst of our life? Metta can express itself in many ways, as generosity, ethics and kind speech, but also in the way we perceive people, appreciating what is good, and the world, seeing the non-separation and interconnectedness and living from this understanding.

2020-04-14 All Phenomena are Empty. Fill them with Metta. 38:44
Nathan Glyde
All phenomena are fabricated by perception: all things are empty of inherently existing separate from the atmosphere of attention. We explore what happens to phenomena and the sense of self when perception is soaked in kindness and care. Supported by the suttas: Two Sorts of Thinking (MN19), and the Karaniya Metta Sutta (SN1.8).

Zohar Lavie
Talk in Hebrew, about how experience is fabricated. Particularly by the way of relating of 'firing the second arrow' of 'dukkha' towards what is difficult, and how we can find a more appropriate and liberating response via a 'metta' way of relating.

2020-04-11 Day 1 Instructions - Welcoming Body in a Spacious Awareness 54:31
Nathan Glyde
Supporting steadiness, openness, and dedication in our practice. Via a spread and open awareness that is intentionally receiving–inviting–the present body sensations into the spacious awareness. Our dedication is to stay steady with it, and to re-open and re-invite, when our attention, naturally, moves away. All of this is done with a gentle atmosphere of metta–kindness.

2020-04-10 Opening Talk - Metta and Emptiness 39:19
Nathan Glyde
Introducing the main concept of this retreat: sankhara-fabrication. In particular the insight that experience is 'made up' from an object in attention and an atmosphere of attention. The latter we could call the way of relating, or way of looking (as Rob Burbea teaches it). We can pay attention to different objects, and that affects expereince. We can also develop ('bhavana' = cultivate) other atmospheres or modes of attending.

Nathan Glyde
A guided meditation offering mettā (well-wishing) towards those working the frontlines of health care and social care, those whose bodies are affected by the virus or disease themselves, and those taking precautions (like being in isolation). Opening our hearts and minds to all those affected, and beyond to all beings everywhere, can help reduce our stress and allow us to be more available to support. Includes a brief introduction: skip first 3 mins to get to the beginning of guided meditation. May all beings be cared for and well in heart-mind and body.

Yuka Nakamura
Im Alltag bieten sich unzählige Gelegenheiten um Metta, die Qualität der Freundlichkeit und des Wohlwollens, zu üben und zu manifestieren. Dazu gehören Gesten der Grosszügigkeit, ethisches Handeln, Freundlichkeit in unseren Worten etc. Letzlich lässt uns Metta die Nicht-Getrenntheit von allen Wesen erkennen und entsprechend handeln.
