In day 3 of the course, you'll be led through a 10-minute guided metta meditation. Metta, or as we like to call it, "good vibes," is one of the most powerful methods of meditation and can have quick results.
Learn how to cultivate metta (loving-kindness) through this meditation that begins with relaxation and a gentle smile, then guides you to generate warm feelings of unconditional love typically felt in the chest area.
Research shows even brief practice (7 minutes) can boost positive feelings and social connectedness, while longer practice can alter neural pathways associated with joy.
The technique progresses from directing love toward yourself to gradually expanding it to all beings, ultimately creating a radiating field of loving awareness.
