BREATHING SENSATIONS THROUGHOUT THE BODY-an opportunity to experience relaxing into the breath, completely and in full awareness with the expert guidance of an experienced teacher
Lovingkindness, or metta as it is known in Pali, is a universal,
unselfish and all-embracing love that protects, supports and heals
both oneself and others. This guided meditation for cultivating the
power of metta begins by directing positive sentiments towards oneself
and progresses to radiate this well-wishing outward towards specific
people and finally to all beings everywhere, without limit.
Mettā, which is goodwill or benevolence, is something to practice frequently. It helps our perceptions become more kindly and giving, less critical and holding. Kindness begins by coming into the present moment – breathing, spreading, opening through the whole body. From this state practice referring to what arises with patience, compassion and gratitude.
This album guides the listener through the progressive stages of lovingkindness practice, as it is classically taught, featuring several guided metta meditations and also includes helpful Q & A sessions about this practice. (Two tapes)
