Ep. 270 – Lovingkindness in Difficult Circumstances Part 2

For episode 270, we bring you the second of a two-part episode from the archives.

Recorded in the early 2010s in a visit to Asheville, North Carolina, Sharon is teaching on Lovingkindness in Difficult Circumstances.

In this teaching, Sharon speaks about:

• Brief History of IMS

• The word Lovingkindness

• the cultural baggage of “love”

• The reality of interconnection

• “Never throw anyone out of your heart” - NKB

• Looking for the good

• How to make a gratitude list

• Sharon’s only joke

• Making different choices

Sharon then takes some questions from the audience on

• Feeling the sorrow of the world

• Balancing concentration in practice

• How do we open despite our conditioning

• Learn to let go of grievances

• The spaces between the breath

You can listen to the first part of this teaching in Episode 269 of the Metta Hour, released on September 3, 2025 entitled Lovingkindness in Difficult Circumstances Part 1.
