Cultivating Love for All Beings.‘Metta’ or loving-kindness is the development of unconditional love for all beings, starting with you. Loving-kindness practice gives you a deeper appreciation of yourself, others, and the world around you.

Hi Claire, yes I learned it in a Buddhist retreat. I’m a bit Buddhist yes, I’ve been on many retreats and meditated on and off for years. I’m just not very dogmatic about it! 💛
Beautiful. I have practiced this at wellbeing events. It is such a lovely generous act of love. It's something I've forgotten and am going to try each day. Thank you for the reminder.
Excellent post, Kate. And timely. The domino effect through your readership and by your friendly instruction will help the world along. Sometimes it takes but a spark. Perhaps the single most important thing we can do in our lifetime is to know our mind. Metta practice is a wonderful tool to that end. Thanks, Kate.

Hi Kate, this is a practice we do in the Buddhist tradition. Just wondered whether you're Buddhist
Ahh. I wonder whether you learned with Triratna. It's the tradition I'm part of.
I went to Gaia house in Devon, which is generally Vipassana though they teach quite a few different traditions there depending on teachers 🙏🏻✨
Ah yes. Lovely idea to share it here
