Hello beautiful souls wherever you are located in the world.
I'd like to introduce you to the easiest morning meditation you can do to start peacefully into your day ahead.
Before we begin Metta,
The practice of loving-kindness.
The simplest way to start is just dropping down from the busy mind into your heart.
Take a deep breath in through your nose.
And let it gently go through your mouth.
Bring both hands.
To rest over the center of your chest.
Feel the pulsing rhythm and slight warmth.
Under your palms.
Take a moment to simply be grateful for this moment.
This breath.
And the warm beating of your heart.
Feel love.
Feel loved by life itself.
Silently commit to live love.
And to be loved.
Wherever you go.
Let's take another deep breath in and out.
And gently let it go.
We are now centered.
And ready to begin Meta.
Softly repeat or sing these traditional words.
First,
Offering kindness to yourself.
May I be filled with lovingkindness.
May I be well,
May I be peaceful and at ease.
And may I be happy.
Now picture someone you love.
Or if you are doing it with a partner or friends,
Look into the eyes of those around you.
May you be filled with loving kindness.
May you be well.
May you be peaceful and at ease.
And may you be happy.
Now let us expand our loving-kindness to include everyone everywhere.
May we be filled with lovingkindness.
May we be well,
May we be peaceful and at ease,
And may we be happy.
And finally,
Claim this state as your truth in the present moment.
I am filled with loving kindness.
I am well.
I am peaceful and at ease.
And I am happy.
I hope you enjoyed this beautiful ritual that I love to use at the end of the group sessions I facilitate.
Having people stand in a circle and singing these words to each other and then declaring them to themselves is deeply powerful.
Singing or saying these words as a daily spiritual practice.
Sets a gentle loving tone for your whole day ahead.
Namaste,
Beautiful souls.
May you be surrounded by divine light throughout your day.
See you soon!
