Loving Kindness - Metta to Me and Others 50/50 | Guided Buddhist Meditation | Ajahn Dhammasiha | Dhammagiri

In this guided meditation, Ajahn Dhammasiha encourages us to cultivate Loving Kindness (Mettā) to both ourselves and others in a balanced way.  Curiously, we often neglect to radiate Loving Kindness (Mettā) to ourselves. We are all living beings and just on that account we qualify for full and unconditional Mettā, whatever shortcomings we may have. There are trillions of living beings in the universe, and thus we sometimes may feel that only a tiny proportion of our Loving Kindness should go to ourselves, and the vast majority to those countless other beings. However, Mettā meditation is not quite so mathmatical. For starters, it may be a good idea to rather deivide it 50/50:  50% of our Mettā to ourselves, and 50% to others 😊 ⚖ 😊 More about Dhammagiri Forest Hermitage: https://www.dhammagiri.net/news Our Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJINt0JJBfFm_x0FZcU9QJw Our email Newsletter: https://tinyletter.com/dhammagiri/archive Our Podcasts on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0SHWfWEGkO8OAtSWNJlqyD Our Podcasts on Apple/itunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dhammagiri-buddhist-podcasts/id1534539834 .
