In this episode of Journey Your Own Meditation Series, we look into nurturing feelings of loving-kindness and gratitude. The meditation guides participants to focus on themselves, a loved one, and a community of beings, offering gratitude and well wishes as a means to generate loving kindness and appreciation.
Jyothi guides us through a modified Metta meditation, focusing on three phases of gratitude: gratitude towards ourselves, gratitude towards a loved being, and gratitude towards a community of beings. These phases allow us to connect with the warmth and openness of our hearts.
Tune in to the episode below.
The meditation begins with a deep breath, grounding us in the present moment and inviting us to let go of any past energies or thoughts that no longer serve us. With each breath, we settle into a state of relaxation and open ourselves to the transformative power of gratitude.
As we bring to mind those who have supported and loved us, we offer gratitude, and in doing so, we generate feelings of loving-kindness. This practice extends to a broader community, including loved ones, friends, coworkers, and even the environment.
The meditation concludes with an act of self-compassion, where we offer ourselves love and kindness for showing up and creating the space for this practice.
Listening to this episode provides an opportunity to deepen your sense of gratitude and open your heart to the boundless possibilities of loving-kindness. Whether you’re new to meditation or a seasoned practitioner, this session offers a beautiful journey of self-discovery and connection with the world around you.
Tune in to experience the transformative power of gratitude and cultivate a sense of loving-kindness that can enrich your life and the lives of those around you.
