Summary
This meditation is a loving-kindness (Metta) practice. You'll be guided to cultivate feelings of warmth, compassion, and well-wishing, first for yourself, then for loved ones, neutral individuals, and eventually all beings. This deliberate cultivation of positive emotions is a powerful way to stimulate the release of beneficial neurotransmitters, physically building a more peaceful and joyful brain.
