A Meditation on Loving-Kindness

“It is only with the heart that one can see clearly, for what is essential is hidden from the eyes.” – Antoine de Saint Exupery
Imagine for a moment that you are standing in a wide, open field scattering seeds. These seeds are your intentions to cultivate loving-kindness for yourself and others.
Just as any wise gardener knows, seeds cannot be forced to grow or hurried along. In the same way, loving-kindness unfolds naturally when met with a spacious and caring heart. Remember, force only closes the heart.
Begin by gently planting the seeds of your intentions to be loving and kind as you softly repeat the following phrases — as if the phrases are like quiet prayers or sacred intentions.
Placing your hands on your heart, offer these phrases to yourself:
May I be healthy and live in harmony with what supports my well-being.
May I be peaceful and live with ease.
May I be free to live and love fully.
Now, imagine a loved one — someone for whom you wish to offer a blessing. Gently open one hand from your heart, as if resting it on their cheek or shoulder, and softly repeat:
May you be healthy and live in harmony with what supports your well-being.
May you be peaceful and live with ease.
May you be free to live and love fully.
Finally, open both hands outward and upward, offering a blessing to all beings everywhere:
May all beings everywhere be filled with everlasting peace.
