Summary

Take part in the ancient art of Ahimsa to let go of harmful thoughts, words, and actions. In today's episode, you'll explore a breathing technique to cultivate loving-kindness.   I think most people agree that the world needs more loving-kindness. This week, take part in the ancient tradition of Ahimsa, or non-violence, from Pantanjali's Yoga Sutras. Discover how harmful thoughts are considered to be as violent as physical violence. This is part of a collection of meditation series focused on sending more peace and love into the world. You'll release negative thoughts and cultivate a calmer, kinder approach to the problems in the world today.   Join us in part 3 of this week's Loving Kindness series. You'll be guided to release negative, harmful thoughts and replace your thoughts with loving-kindness.   This is part 3 of a 7-part Loving Kindness meditation series episodes 2096-2102.   THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE: Every day, consciously send loving kindness to yourself, others, and the world.   THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION TECHNIQUES:   Affirmation - "I send loving-kindness to those around me.."
