NeeAnahI got to hear someone speak on their recovery story today. They mentioned something I am learning to put into practice and that is Mettā lovingkindness. It's a blessing to hear the universe confirm that I'm on the right path. I got hugs from all the women I love and admire. The sky is blue today! The air quality is back to normal. I can breathe! The trees can breathe, the critters can breathe, the babies get fresh air too, and that makes me so grateful and thankful 🙏🏽 <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/3goodthings" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@3goodthings</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/gratitude" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#gratitude</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/mettameditation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#mettameditation</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/lovingkindness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#lovingkindness</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/3GoodThingsToday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#3GoodThingsToday</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/3goodthingstoday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#3goodthingstoday</a>

Kristen SimondsCultivating Mindfulness & Loving-Kindness MeditationCultivating Buddhist awareness within the beautiful practices of mindfulness and loving-kindness meditation invites us to deepen our understanding of each precious moment while nurturing a profound sense of compassion and empathy for ourselves and those around us. In the meditation below, we gently begin by turning our attention to the breath, a fundamental element of Buddhist meditation. This focus on the breath serves as a warm anchor for our minds, guiding us to fully embrace the present with kindness and presence.As we gently tune into bodily sensations and tensions, there emerges a beautiful connection to the profound Buddhist teaching of recognizing suffering—embracing discomfort with kindness, without falling into attachment or aversion. This compassionate awareness nurtures a non-judgmental observation of thoughts as they surface and dissolve, harmonizing with the Buddhist practice of viewing thoughts as fleeting, much like soft clouds wandering through the vast sky.The Metta practice highlighted in the meditation tenderly embodies the Buddhist principle of loving-kindness (Metta). By softly repeating phrases of compassion, beginning with a cherished friend and gradually expanding that warmth to oneself, we cultivate profound kindness and understanding, which are essential in Buddhism. This practice gently encourages the release of the ego and fosters a heartfelt sense of interconnectedness with all beings.Ultimately, the journey through this meditation gently nurtures our awareness, embracing the essential principles of Buddhism by fostering mindfulness and compassion, which encourages a more connected and loving approach to our lives. The profound sense of peace that emerges at the end beautifully embodies the ultimate aspiration of Buddhist practice: to nurture hearts and minds that are open, compassionate, and fully present for ourselves and others.
