Loving-Kindness Meditation 2,500 Years Old

Begin with taking 5 abdominal breaths. y Place one hand on your chest and the other on your abdomen. When you take a deep

breath, the hand on the abdomen should rise higher than the one on the chest. This insures

that the diaphragm is expanding, pulling air into the bases of the lungs.

y Take a slow deep breath in through your nose imagining that you are sucking in all the air

in the room and hold it for a count of 7 (or as long as you are able, not exceeding 7)

y Slowly exhale through your mouth for a count of 6-8. The exhalation should be twice as

long as inhalation. y Repeat the cycle four more times for a total of 5 deep breaths.

y Try and reduce your breathing rate to 6 breaths per minute (one breath every 10 seconds)

Then direct the Loving-Kindness Meditation to yourself…

May I be filled with loving-kindness May I be well May I be peaceful and at ease May I be happy

Then direct it towards someone or something that may be causing you discomfort or

negative emotions…

May you be filled with loving-kindness May you be well May you be peaceful and at ease May you be happy

Finish with 5 more deep abdominal breaths.
