meditation allows us to practice the fundamental actions of consciousness that help us in our lives. just as a musician can practice their scales and an athlete can practice their throw, we can practice kindness and self-compassion, we can practice wholehearted presence and undivided attention, we can practice inner strength and inner peace. we also learn a tremendous amount about ourselves and reality along the way.
this course is designed to help you have a daily practice that is enjoyable, interesting, and beneficial. it's suitable for total beginners as well as those who already have some experience.
the teaching philosophy of this class is to focus on the fundamental principles common to all meditation, offer a variety of techniques to help you discover what suits you best, and provide the individual support that is invaluable in learning a new skill.
metta is the natural quality of the heart that relates to all beings with good will.
when we practice cultivating this quality in ourselves, we discover that there has always been a deep abiding care within us for ourselves and for all living things.
at first, we might have no idea how to even recognize this thing called "metta" in our experience. with time, we can help our hearts let go of resentment and fear, revealing the qualities of peace, love, and wellbeing that are our birthright.
with metta,
Metta May is a month-long program devoted to cultivating metta for ourselves, for those we are connected to, and for all beings.
