I’ll be guiding a 3-session course on Practicing Loving-Kindness Meditation starting next week, Tuesday, Nov. 29, from 7 to 8:30 pm. Nineteen people have already registered and there are a few more spaces available.
Loving-kindness is an ancient Buddhist practice (a.k.a. metta meditation) that continues to be relevant, especially in a world of uncertainty, polarization, and isolation. This practice can help everyone of us to develop non-judging acceptance of self and others. With gently guided practice in class and at home, you’ll learn to enrich your interpersonal relationships at work, at home, in the street, and the world at large.

Recent research findings: “Self-reported anxiety, compassionate love, and self-compassion were assessed at pre-treatment, post-treatment, and 8-week follow-up. Relative to control participants, participants in the LKM intervention reported higher compassionate love and self-compassion at post-treatment and higher self-kindness (a component of self-compassion) at follow-up.”
