We begin with the basic instruction in metta (lovingkindness) practice, using the silent repetition of phrases. Then we move to a period of mindfulness practice, followed by metta practice, where the metta is most accessible, followed by an invitation to return to mindfulness practice, integrated with the energy and intentions of metta practice.
In this session Gullu guides a meditation practice focusing on sending loving kindness to a person we do not know well, sometimes referred to as the friendly stranger.
Background and introduction to the classic method of pervading all quarters with a heart imbued with loving-kindness, followed by a guided meditation radiating metta in front, to the sides, in back, above, below and all around. Abundant, exalted, immeasurable.
