Here I offer a guided meditation by offering the gift of lovingkindness in the form of phrases to loved ones.Then we move into a visualization where we radiate kindness energy out to drench ourselves in the warm energy of kindness. The longer we stay in the experience of lovingkindness, the more our neurons wire and fire together, allowing the passing state of kindness to become a permanent trait.Meditation can be challenging at times.

Here I offer a guided meditation through the body, feeling tones, and mind/heart, as presented by Ven. Bhikkhu Analayo. In this practice we explore our experience of our body through the skin, flesh, bones, and the elemental qualities of the body: Earth, Water, Fire, and Air. We are then invited into the feeling tones inherent in the human experience. Then we rest deeply in the body and from that deep state of bodily rest, we observe the activity of the mind and heart. By observing in a non-judgemental was we might come to notice how the contact in the body leads to a feeling tone which leads to thoughts, emotions, and moods.With practice, this practice can lead one to a deeper sense of present moment awareness, and to recognize the not-self aspect of our physicality.Meditation can be challenging at times.
