Dharma Talk and Meditation - Brahmaviharas for Self Love and Metta Meditation

From Magic of Awareness Retreat - June 2024

Trudy introduced the Brahmavihara practices: love, compassion, joy, and equanimity, emphasizing their importance in cultivating positive emotions. Quoting Rabbi Nachman, she highlighted the challenge of finding joy and suggested practices to foster it. Trudy explained how these practices help re-parent oneself, counteracting negative self-talk. She led a loving-kindness meditation, guiding participants to offer metta to different body parts, promoting relaxation and self-compassion. The session concluded with a reminder to carry the practice's blessings into daily life.
