WHAT IS METTA MEDITATION?

Metta is an active form of meditation where instead of focusing on the breath, we focus on sending benevolent thoughts and wishes out into the world, and we imagine that the people in our minds are touched by our loving kindness. In some forms of this meditation, we go a step further and imagine that the subject of our metta meditation may be (and this includes ourselves) is relieved of their particular form of discomfort, unease or pain as they are touched by the power of our goodwill.
