Welcome to this Loving Kindness Mantra Meditation,
A practice to cultivate love,
Compassion and peace.
By chanting Sanskrit mantra for universal peace,
Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu,
We set an intention for happiness and freedom.
As you breathe deeply,
Allow your heart to open,
Letting go of tension and inviting kindness.
This meditation will help you connect with yourself and others,
Expanding love beyond personal boundaries.
Let's begin this journey of peace and compassion.
Invitation is to find a comfortable position,
Either seated or laying down.
Gently close your eyes and take a deep breath in and slowly exhale.
Let go of any tension as you settle into this moment.
Take another deep breath in through your nose,
Hold for a moment and gently release.
Feel the air flowing in nourishing your body and flowing out.
Now bring your attention to your heart center as we move towards chanting.
You have a choice.
You can either sing along with the mantra to actively immerse yourself or simply listen and absorb.
Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu means,
May all beings everywhere be happy and free and may my thoughts,
Words and actions contribute to that happiness and freedom.
As we chant,
Allow this intention to fill your heart.
Now take a deep breath in and begin singing softly.
We'll repeat it nine times.

Sending peace to yourself,
Your loved ones and all beings.
Now let the mantra fade into silence and feel the warmth of compassion expanding from your heart,
Connecting you with the world.
Breathe in love and breathe out peace.
Whenever you are ready,
Gently bring awareness back to your body.
You may want to wiggle your fingers and toes or stretch a bit.
And if it is available to you,
Take a final deep breath.
And as you exhale,
Softly open your eyes if they are closed.
Carry this warmth and peace with you throughout your day.
Stay well,
Be well,
Look after yourself.
Thank you.
