Loving Kindness Meditation
Let your love flow ...
Loving Kindness Meditation
Loving Kindness Meditation has its origins in Buddhism and is called metta meditation there. The goal it is to bring out and strengthen love, kindness and goodness in us.
Here I am suggest three variants of metta meditation. How long you practice these, you can determine yourself. I usually practice 10 minutes, and I like to do it on days off 20 minutes or more. Try it for you and find a suitable length that is for you is consistent. There are no rules here.
preparation
Find a pleasant, upright one Sitting posture and close yours Eyes.
Take you a few minutes to your To feel breath. Eighth on every inhalation and exhalation in order to fully perceive the present moment.
After a few breaths, focusing on inhaling and exhaling, begin now yours To perceive the heart. You can put your hands here if you like this helps.
1st variant
Stay with your attention to yours Breath and be yourself at the same time yours Heartfelt consciously.
legend in silence or speak it out loud:
May I be well.
I may be happy.
I like myself
May I be healthy and free from anger.
May I be satisfied and relaxed.
Well you've got the choice: you can stick with it, metta only to you of you judge yourself, or you can direct it to others, e.g. to Friends, to neutral People People with whom you Have trouble Animals, and ultimately everyone sentient beings. Even if you direct the energy to others, you can put this into words and say it out loud. Sat then enter the name or names accordingly.
May it be xyz go well.
May xyz be happy.
May xyz be healthy and free from anger.
May xyz be satisfied and relaxed.
2nd variant
Let your Heart blossom in metta energy. Demand your Heart on that Allowing metta energy to enter. Face yourself this pictorially. Lay one or both hands on the heart area and feel after this touch.
Whisper: (Please) let me feel love / metta.
Feel yours Heart area, and maybe soon you will bathe in the feeling of love. As in variant 1 can you this energy as soon as you get it feel, send to others, or on you judge yourself.
3rd variant

Are you filled, you can the energy over yours too Let the body flow out to where the energy wants to go. Trust on that the love of yours Will flow from the heart to where it is needed.
