Lovingkindness meditation opens our hearts to others from "summary" of Real Happiness by Sharon Salzberg
Lovingkindness meditation is a practice that has the power to transform our hearts and minds. When we engage in this practice, we are cultivating a sense of lovingkindness towards ourselves and others. By focusing on feelings of love, compassion, and goodwill, we are able to open our hearts in a profound way. Through lovingkindness meditation, we learn to let go of negative emotions such as anger, resentment, and fear. Instead, we can embrace feelings of connection, empathy, and understanding towards others. This shift in perspective allows us to see the humanity in everyone, even those we may have difficulty with. As we continue to practice lovingkindness meditation, we begin to develop a sense of interconnectedness with all beings. We recognize that we are not separate, but rather part of a larger whole. This realization can lead to a greater sense of compassion and a desire to alleviate the suffering of others. By opening our hearts through lovingkindness meditation, we are able to cultivate a sense of generosity and kindness towards others. This practice helps us to break down the barriers that separate us and to see the inherent goodness in all beings. In this way, lovingkindness meditation can be a powerful tool for fostering greater understanding and harmony in our relationships.- Lovingkindness meditation enables us to approach the world with an open heart and a sense of goodwill towards all. It allows us to let go of judgment and to embrace love and compassion as guiding principles in our interactions with others. Through this practice, we can create a more peaceful and compassionate world for ourselves and those around us.
