The Daily Medtiation Guide to Loving Kindness Meditation Loving Kindness Meditation is a type of meditation that creates a sense of compassion and love for one and all. Loving kindness meditation is a very important part of Budddhism. To perform a loving kindness meditation an individual begins meditating as normal (breath based meditation). Once the mind is still, the individual extends loving kindness towards themselves, reciting a mantra that shows love and compassion for themselves. The individual next repeats this loving kindness meditation for their family, then for their friend, then for colleagues, then for a neutral person, then for a difficult person (some may call this person an “enemy” but those of the Buddhists faith would not term it so). Loving Kindness Meditation creates a sense of universal love and compassion in the mind of the practitioner. This benefits both the individual themselves—who learn to see a world of love and compassion—and those the individual meets (because the individual has learned to shows love and compassion to them).
