This is another episode on Loving-Kindness. Loving-Kindness is also known as Metta in Sanskrit. Metta means benevolence, friendliness, and good-will. Loving-Kindness is compassion towards others as well as yourself. The meditation begins with compassion towards yourself and extends out into the world to include those we don't even know. There are many versions of Loving-Kindness Meditations. This shortened version is based on Stephen Levine's Loving-Kindness Meditation found in his book, Guided Meditations, Explorations and Healings.
