Metta (Loving Kindness) Meditation Workshops 2012

 


Workshop details

Initially there is a theoretical introduction to the four Brahma Viharas:

Metta (Loving Kindness); Karuna (Compassion);
Mudita (Sympathetic joy; and Upekha (equanimity).
This is followed by a look at how these qualities can be developed and what the benefits of doing so are.

" You are shown how to calm and clear the mind.

" You are led to chant for the well-being of all, in English and in Pali.

" You are guided to use visualisation to intensify the practice.

" There is discussion about the power of the mind and the effectiveness of synchronised global meditations.

" There'll be guided practice with a global link-up if appropriate.
