In this complete metta practice session, Stancavage guides us to focus on the self and loved ones, using the traditional phrases “May I/you be happy, healthy, and at ease” to develop genuine goodwill and heart-opening awareness. This practice cultivates wellbeing, patience, and connection while releasing harshness and resentment.
This practice is excerpted from Mary Stancavage’s four-part video workshop for Lion’s Roar members, “How to Cultivate Friendliness through Metta Meditation,” which Lion’s Roar members can access now. Explore our full library of member workshops.
