Thank you kindly for this metta meditation! My thoughts have been swirling in my head worrying about my eldest daughter who lives alone & is 4 months pregnant (high risk). Since retiring in 2020, I have been babysitting my youngest daughter’s two children. I need to be rested to care for them. Your calm voice put me to sleep and I woke up just before my alarm this morning! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
