Well-wishing loving-kindness for others

Practising loving-kindness for others is important because it helps give you a sense of warmth and well-wishing to their welfare, which in turn raises your own well-being level. Even if you don’t have many positive feelings toward a person to begin with, loving-kindness helps you let go of those aggravations, which in turn makes you feel better.

As with practising loving-kindness towards yourself (see the preceding section), get into a comfortable position and try to do something relaxing beforehand. Allow 15 to 20 minutes for this meditation.

People normally practise loving-kindness by offering kindness to themselves first and then to others. If you feel like you’re ready to do this meditation, allow yourself 20 minutes and incorporate loving-kindness for yourself before you move onto others. If you feel this meditation is too difficult for you to do the whole 20 minutes to start with, do the meditation as I set it out, in two parts.

Start with some mindful breathing.

Focus on your breath with a sense of gratitude.
