When times are tough, sometimes the best way to clear your head and open your heart is to focus on other people.
So in that spirit, I’ve recorded a Loving Kindness Meditation for you. I think we could all use a little extra love right now. Love for ourselves and love for each other and love for those folks on the front lines of the viral pandemic that’s sweeping across the planet right now.
And you know what? I think we’re going to need a lot more of it by the time all of this is over. So please take some time, get quiet, and send love out to those people who need it most.
In the process, you’re likely to discover, if you haven’t already, that it feels good and right to share the love. And it’s a marvelous way to counteract the fear and anxiety that’s in the air.
Let’s generate some love people.
Very nice and easy short guided meditation.
I’m glad you liked it David! Thanks for your feedback 🙂
Very calm, soothing and feels good to put out my loving kindness feelings to those I know and those I don’t…thank you!
Hi Carla, Yes, it really feels good to send out those warm loving feelings. I’m glad you liked it and thanks for writing!
Hi guys I started meditating recently,
and since I started it has changed my life.
When I meditate I love listening the sound of nature,
and lately I listen to the sound of the rain
I think it’s very relaxing.
Cool! Thanks for sharing that Mike 🙂
I’m in the market for a heart rate variability (HRV) monitor. I usually avoid new technologies and I try to lead a simple life, but I’m intrigued by HRV. It might give me some insights into how my meditation practice is going. Have you bought one of these things.
Hi Christopher,
I have not. The closest I’ve gotten is doing the MUSE headband, which is more about brainwave measurements and monitoring. I’m curious about HRV though. Please let us know if you do it and how it unfolds for you as a source of insight related to your practice.
I’d love to hear a podcast about how you’re doing with your meditation practice in the current situation.
As far as HRV, it is much more complicated than I first thought. One thing I have noticed is that if I have a sleepless night, it is apparent in my HRV. However, beyond this, I’m still trying to figure out what HRV means. I’ve read a few research papers, but they haven’t been very helpful. I’ll let you know when I’ve learned more.
Powerful last 2-3 mins; love it!

In this world we are all struggling with something or other. We are all running behind money, fame, and materialistic things.
And end of the day all we are loosing is our life.
No one thinks about Inner Peace!
As a human we all have our own responsibility and burdens.
However at the end of the day we all want little amount of peace.
Hence, let’s start a journey with us where we all will try to find Inner Peace and we will try to be a Good human being.
Very nice, thank you!
