Our feelings, emotions and relationships are fundamental to our lives, and the metta bhavana meditation, which develops a sense of loving kindness, or metta, towards ourselves and others, is a basic practice within Triratna. Metta is an almost untranslatable word in Sanskrit that means something like 'an appreciative kindness or love extending without any limits and including all beings'.
Here’s another approach to loving kindness, led by Vidyamala, that focuses on the experience of kindness, especially directed towards ourselves. This approach grows from Vidyamala’s experience of living with chronic pain and helping others do the same through Breathworks.
