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 🙏🏻✨

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! 💛

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.
