How do you practise loving-kindness or metta meditation?

Settle comfortably, take a few breaths, and start by directing kind wishes toward yourself, using simple phrases in your mind. When that feels steady, extend the same wishes outward, to someone you love, then someone neutral, then someone difficult, and finally to all beings. You do not need to feel a rush of emotion; the intention itself is the practice. Go gently and stop wherever feels right. StillMind can lead you through each stage so you can simply follow along.
