What is loving-kindness meditation?

Loving-kindness meditation, sometimes called metta, is a practice of gently wishing wellbeing to yourself and others. You silently offer simple good wishes, first to yourself, then gradually to people you care about, people you feel neutral toward, and even those you find difficult. It is warm rather than forced, and there is no need to manufacture a feeling. Over time it tends to soften how you relate to yourself and others. StillMind can guide loving-kindness sessions that feel natural rather than scripted.
