Ep. 278 – Guided Metta Meditation: Becoming a Beacon of Kindness

“A powerful way of practicing metta is to invite in the feeling of love without specific words or images. You become a beacon of kindness. Then whatever arises as you sit—thoughts, people, images, concerns—will be held in that kindness.” – Jack Kornfield This episode is brought to you by Betterhelp.
