Ep. 278 – Guided Metta Meditation: Becoming a Beacon of Kindness

Ep. 278 – Guided Metta Meditation: Becoming a Beacon of Kindness

“A powerful way of practicing metta is to invite in the feeling of love without specific words or images. You become a beacon of kindness. Then whatever arises as you sit—thoughts, people, images, concerns—will be held in that kindness.” – Jack Kornfield

This week on Heart Wisdom, Jack offers listeners instruction on:

  • Metta and invoking the spirit of love within ourselves
  • Holding all that arises during meditation with kindness
  • Letting our body have a sense of care and well being
  • Allowing ourselves to soften, relax, and rest easily
  • Feeling completely supported by the earth below us
  • Opening our hearts and minds via the metta sutta of loving-kindness
  • Suffusing the whole world with unobstructed, sublime love

“The ideal as you practice is to find your own way, to find what most naturally resonates with yourself as a gateway to open the heart.” – Jack Kornfield

This episode was originally recorded for the Spirit Rock Meditation Center Monday Night Dharma Talk and Guided Meditation Livestream for Feb 2025.
