Gentle Loving-Kindness Meditation
This guided meditation focuses on cultivating a sense of loving-kindness through various visual and sensory prompts. The meditation begins with finding a balanced posture and observing one's current feelings, visual field, auditory space, and tactile sensations. Images of a happy golden retriever puppy, a gentle butterfly, and a beautiful flower are introduced to evoke feelings of friendliness and connection. Different modes of attention, such as receptive attention, gentle projection of loving energy, and holding the relationship with loving-kindness, are explored. The meditation emphasizes saturating the field of intention with loving-kindness and tuning into the vibratory quality of the meta vibrations. The practice concludes by directing loving-kindness towards oneself, expanding it to friends, family, all living creatures, and finally the entire universe.
