If it’s helpful, you can whisper in the back of your mind “ease” or “calm,” as suggested by Thich Nhat Hanh. Try to meet each breath with lovingkindness and loving awareness. Wish calm and peace for yourself and beings everywhere, far and near. Rest in stillness and love.

Centering Meditation — Jack Kornfield

Some of you may have your own way of practicing metta/lovingkindess meditation. Others may want to listen and follow along—but it's not a rigid practice. Do whatever most naturally opens the heart. For some people, the recitation of words—which we'll do—may be helpful. For others, it's more helpful to simply sit in a field of love and radiate kindness without a lot of words, specific language, or intention. Whatever floats your heart—follow that into goodness.

Beacon Of Love Meditation—Jack Kornfield

Inviting listeners into a soft, natural breathing amidst it all, Jack helps us flow through waves of thoughts, emotions, and sensations, in order to come to rest in loving awareness, the timeless witness indwelling in each of us as who we truly are.

"When you notice that a wave has pulled your attention from the breath, receive it. Let go of the attention to the breath, and receive it with the same loving awareness, as if to bow to it gently."
