Hi friends, welcome to a time of being still and being loved.

This is a time for us to lay back, rest, and receive the loving kindness of God.

And today we're going to do a loving kindness meditation.

Now the point of a loving kindness meditation is to receive loving kindness in order to

give it away.

But you and I both know we can only receive because it's given to us from someone.

And the only loving kindness that never fails is that which is of God.

God is loving kindness.

So in order for us to receive the kindness that we want to give away, we're going to go

to God first.

So go ahead and take a moment to situate yourself, place your body in a position that feels comforting,

yet attentive.

So whether you lay down or sit in a chair, it's up to you.

And now begin to breathe so that your belly softly fills with air as it expands and exhale

as it draws in.

Inhale and notice the tension on the inhale.

Inhale and notice the release.

Inhale, notice the rise of the belly and the heart.

Exhale, notice the fall.

Rise and fall.

Scan your body for any tension, see if you can direct the breath to soften that area

of tension.
