Mindfulness and metta (lovingkindness) go hand in hand in my meditation practice. Today is an opportunity to review the topics introduced in the second week, check out a day you missed, or spend more time with a practice that resonates with you.
May we be safe. May we be whole. May we be happy.
The wing of mindfulness opens the mind. The wing of metta opens the heart.
Send waves to those in need from the ocean of compassion.
Sometimes the present moment is difficult.
Expand attention from the body to the sense of self and beyond.
Move from the head to the heart.
