This is a meditation of care, concern, tenderness, loving kindness, friendship and a feeling of warmth for oneself and others. To practice Loving Kindness Meditation, sit in a comfortable and relaxed manner. Take two or three deep breaths with slow, long and complete exhalations. Let go of any concerns or preoccupations. Repeat the following meditation out loud. Repeat all four stanzas, four times. Once you have memorized the meditation, do this with your eyes closed. The following example on how to practice this healing meditation comes from Ann Marie Chiasson, MD’s Energy Healing Reference Cards:
(First Stanza - about yourself x 4)
May I be at peace, may my heart remain open,
may I awaken to the light of my own true nature,
may I be healed, may I be a source of healing for all beings.
(Second Stanza – Bring up someone you love x 4)
May you be at peace, may your heart remain open,
may you awaken to the light of your own true nature,
may you be healed, may you be a source of healing for all beings.
(Third Stanza – Bring up someone you have difficulty with x4)
May you be at peace, may your heart remain open,
may you awaken to the light of your own true nature,
may you be healed, may you be a source of healing for all beings.
(Last Stanza choose a group, family, or all living things x4)
May we be at peace, may our hearts remain open,
may we awaken to the light of our own true nature,
may we be healed, may we be a source of healing for all beings.
