- WalterSear 7y agoNot really. Metta meditation, or instance, is about practicing a secondary emotion so that it is more accessible.
- asimovfan 7y ago:D during metta meditation, don't you radiate metta, and then when you notice you are distracted, you come back to radiating metta? also it just might be that you think it is about practicing a secondary emotion (because it makes sense right now), but actually it is an indirect way of making you practice something else.
- proverbialbunny 7y agoWhat you're describing is the bases of many different kinds of concentration meditation.
