19min | Guided "Loving Kindness" Meditation by Sharon Salzberg

from Guided Loving-Kindness Meditations · host Duncan Hamra

In this gentle guided meditation, we explore the transformative practice of loving-kindness (metta) meditation through simple phrases of well-wishing.The practice begins with directing kindness toward ourselves through phrases like "May I be safe, be happy, be healthy, live with ease." We then gradually expand this circle of care to include benefactors, friends, neutral people in our lives, mildly difficult people, and finally all beings everywhere. Rather than forcing feelings, this meditation emphasizes the power of gathering our attention behind these phrases as acts of generosity.Perfect for both beginners and experienced practitioners, this meditation offers a sustainable approach to cultivating kindness that can extend beyond the cushion into daily life.

Destiny Architecture® Meditations Heather Larson Bring your mediation practice into the Valueverse. Lynne's Podcast Lynne August MD Dr. A offers her interpretations and applications of Dr. Revici’s profound research at DrRevici.com and the Revici Journal. Dr. Revici was arguably fifty to one hundred years ahead of his time in his application of quantum physics to medical sciences. As a once-aspiring physicist, this alone propelled Dr. A to Dr. Revici. As a physician, she felt compelled, and in some palpable way responsible, to understand Dr. Revici’s ability to control pain and achieve remissions in terminal cancer patients with his non-toxic “guided chemotherapy”, even many cancers that conventional therapy failed to control. Most of the time his questions and solutions were as unprecedented as they were effective. While Dr. Revici was primarily focused on cancer, Dr. A’s research and therapeutics to prevent and treat all chronic and degenerative disease can transform 21st century medicine.
