Dharma Talk and Meditation - Brahmaviharas and the Jelly Roll Metta Meditation

From Coming Home to our Senses Retreat - May 2025

Trudy led this retreat session focused on the Brahmaviharas, starting with metta (loving kindness). She explained the historical context and benefits of metta, urging participants to practice self-compassion and extend kindness to others, including difficult individuals. She guided a visualization exercise, known as the "jelly roll," to cultivate metta, followed by formal metta phrases for self and others.
