Loving-kindness meditation
by Introspection inthis is a version of metta (loving-kindness) meditation by phillip moffet, a teacher of insight meditation.
you're supposed to say it to yourself first (using the word i instead of you) then direct to loved ones, and eventually to difficult persons.
may you be safe from internal and external harm.. may you have a calm, clear mind and a peaceful, loving heart.. may you be physically strong, healthy and vital.. may you experience love, joy, wonder and wisdom.
