Loving-Kindness (Metta)

Loving-kindness (Metta) Meditation

Loving-Kindness (Metta) is a Buddhist practice to develop impartial and unconditional love. Initially taught by the Buddha, it exists in most ancient spiritual disciplines. Feelings of loving-kindness are cultivated using visualization and affirmations which are projected onto others. It is reported to reduce irritation, anger and hatred, while improving patience and the ability to forgive.
