Loving-Kindness is a Meditation Practice with Big Benefits: Sending Kind Thoughts To Ourselves and Others

Loving-kindness, also known as Metta, is a meditation in which we send kind thoughts to ourselves and others. It is a generous practice that anyone can do, no matter the age and level of emotional intelligence. In this episode, Anne-Marie Emanuelli, Creative Director and Founder of Mindful Frontiers LLC, explains the benefits of Metta or Loving-Kindness meditation. Then, she leads us in a practice to extend kind thoughts and intentions to ourselves and others in our lives. This classic meditation practice can be easily introduced to your family or home group and will add kindness and compassion to your lives.

Children are born with an innate capacity to give and receive affection and compassion. We’ve noticed how young children absorb the smiles of others and instinctively reciprocate their own heart-melting energy. We’ve watched a young child shed tears seeing another being in distress and noticed how they are able to join in the laughter of others. Observe them as they hug their furry pets and speak sweetly to un-furry pets such as a butterfly or lizards. Children are born with a real sense of how to love and be loved. As they grow older, this spontaneity wanes as life affects their lived experiences. They find out that others are not always kind and loving, that people can display hurtful behaviors and life may become more challenging to navigate.

We bring mindfulness to school classrooms, professional staff training, and custom workshops.
