Here is a guided meditation where we are invited to offer compassion in the form of phrases. As a result resistance can arise, giving us the opportunity to work with our unconscious barriers to our innate compassion. By moving through the stages of Mindfulness, Common humanity, and Kindness, we give ourselves the opportunity to soften around our struggles and allow a space for healing.

Here I offer a guided meditation by offering the gift of kindness in the form of phrases to strangers. Just thinking about how many people there are in the world, and that each one represents an opportunity to be kind, can be incredibly liberating. This particular set of phrases are composed in a way that allow us hold and honor the challenges of life while connecting to the kindness inherent in our hearts. Then we move into a visualization where we radiate lovingkindness energy out to drench ourselves and our loved ones in the warm energy of lovingkindness. The longer we stay in the experience of lovingkindness, the more our neurons wire and fire together, allowing the passing state of lovingkindness to become a permanent trait.
