What are the benefits of loving-kindness meditation?

Loving-kindness practice is commonly associated with more positive emotion, greater self-compassion, and a warmer sense of connection to others. Because it deliberately cultivates goodwill, many people find it eases self-criticism and softens tension in relationships. As with any meditation, these shifts build gradually with regular practice rather than instantly. StillMind offers guided loving-kindness sessions so you can return to that warmth often and let it grow.
