So we begin in a simple way just to close your eyes and pause and allow yourself to feel your breath.

And you might let the breath be felt at the heart.

Create an embodied atmosphere for a loving kindness.

You might let a slight smile come to the mouth.

Feel the inside of the mouth smiling.

Let the eyes be soft.

And since you can smile into the heart,

you can visualize that curve of a smile spreading through the chest.

It's not to cover over but to really allow you to sense that openness and receptivity.

It's a sensing heart space.

And then letting come to mind someone in your life who's very easy for you to feel appreciation towards,

care towards, love towards.

It might be a benefactor someone who's been very kind.

Someone who you can trust loves you.

And as this person comes to mind, sense that here she's right here with you very close in.

You can see his or her eyes look on the person's face when they're happy, peaceful.

You can sense the love that that person feels for you.

And take some moments to reflect on whatever goodness most easy to sense.

What you love about this person.

And it might be the way they show love.

It might be the humor or brightness, honesty.

That this person really is dedicated to being awake or real or kind.
