"Living in loving kindness opens the doorway to happiness and joy." – Jack Kornfield

In this episode, Jack leads a guided meditation to help us:

Enter into presence, relaxation, kindness, and loving awareness
Wrap the world and our experiences in the heart of loving kindness
Learn what it feels like to truly wish well for others and yourself
Use the power of our imagination to visualize and experience transformative blessings
Gradually and incrementally extend our metta to encapsulate all sentient beings
Offer our hearts and direct our loving kindness to those suffering throughout the world
Take the "advanced class" by extending our metta to those causing suffering
Listen to our intuition and allow our heart to direct itself
Live in happiness and joy, and bring loving kindness to all we touch

"Extend the feeling of loving kindness across the world, to those in difficulty, the families the children who are fleeing danger in so many places—Myanmar, Sudan, Ukraine, Gaza, Palestine, Israel—across the world. You picture them—the families the children—and send rays of love, metta, and strength, 'May you be safe and protected, may you find ease and graciousness, may you be held in loving kindness, and in whatever ways you can, may you be happy.'" – Jack Kornfield
