Loving Kindness Meditation for Calm and Self-Trust with Kimberly Brown

In this episode, Kimberly Brown explains that we do not have to win a war against our thoughts. Instead, we can acknowledge that familiar voice, recognize it is not actually true, and offer ourselves a little goodwill instead .

Kimberly Brown is a meditation teacher and author. She leads classes and retreats that emphasize the power of compassion and kindness meditation to reconnect us to ourselves and others. She studies in both the Tibetan and Insight schools of Buddhism and is a certified mindfulness instructor. Her latest book is Happy Relationships: 25 Buddhist Practices to Transform Your Connection with Your Partner, Family, and Friends.
