Loving Kindness - A Heart Prayer of Kindness
Embodied Mindfulness Meditation
Module 2 Loving Kindness - A Heart Prayer of Kindness
with Dina Asher Kushnir
Introduction to Loving Kindness
Loving-kindness is our birthright and the center of our heart's desire to love and be loved, to connect and express grace. In these embodied meditations, you begin by activating self-love and then extend it outward in ever-widening circles. The heart’s divine light is ignited by your visualization and sent to your body and to each body part. This light is extended to your loved one and to your environment, nurturing your own healing and the healing of the world.
This Episode: A Heart Prayer of Kindness
Key Focus: Sending blessings to yourself and your body.
Practice: Repeat these phrases, allowing their meaning to sink into your heart:
"May I be at ease."
"May I be free of suffering."
"May I be at peace."
"May I be happy."
"May I cultivate the seeds of joy in me."
Spread these blessings to every part of your body, acknowledging and appreciating how each part sustains you.
Reflection Questions: "How do you receive the blessing you are sending?" "How do you feel in your body after this meditation?"
