Body is just one half of the equation for Deep Sleep
- andai 7y agoI started doing metta a few years ago when I was having a rough time. It was the one thing that made me feel better every single time. The basic instructions for are to say (or think), “May all beings be happy. May all beings be healthy. May all beings be safe. May all beings be peaceful. May all beings be free from suffering.” In this way you intentionally cultivate a peaceful, benevolent state of mind. I started doing this for entirely selfish reasons—it made me feel better! But doing this regularly for a few months I noticed an undercurrent of deep peace developing in me. You can replace “all beings” with “I”, loved ones, or people you are experiencing difficulty with. You start with whichever person feels easiest to appreciate and work your way up, so to speak :) Best wishes
