Lovingkindness for Ourselves and Others

Self-Compassion

Positive affirmations to myself helped me visualize growing my inner light to spread to others, this was a powerful practice for me. Thank you 🙏🏻

Loving.

Happiness begins with our self. Accepting who we really are and being proud of whom we become.

Speak and Believe

I learned that I must continue to speak life and great things over myself . I am love , peace , Joy , a giver , not afraid , no worries, not doubting and I don't live in fear. There's no worry, lack or doubt. I am at ease , I am anointed, God love will shine through me like a beacon of light and I will bless all those whom I come in contact with so they can know God

Allow your self to be happy

I learned that I need to say good things to myself, don't be to hard on myself. Allow myself to be happy! Speak good about people around me

Well wishing

Positive feelings for yourself and others reflects outwards to the world and creates a barrier from negativity

Simply allowing those lovingkindness to yourself... as well as others

Like my last session, the three attributes of well-being was imagined by me as a radiantly glowing, peaceful floating light. I also thought of my three and possibly only friends, that I have given them to because they absolutely deserve it. :) I had no trouble or shame accepting this light; who wouldn’t want to? It’s a wonderful gift to achieve to be happy and living your full potential.

Three Minutes

Spent on a loving kindness meditation is a timeless reward. I feel grateful for this practice.

Thank you so much for a wonderful session

I learned that giving love to ourselves and to others is just so easy and makes us feel so good. I love my life and all the people that have had positive impacts on my life. I love all of you! May you be happy, may you be healthy, may you live with ease ❤️

So important

Thank you for this! It is so important yet so overlooked to stop and be kind to ourselves.

Love

My love for my husband surfaced. I wish him well being since he suffers in so much pain.

Loving Kindness

This is always a good meditation to start your day with and even end it. Thank you!

I learned that

I can change my sense of contentment by verbalizing my desire for wellness in others, asking myself how can I act to improve the lives of others with loving kindness; then I look to myself and offer that same desire, then smile and receive it!

Rid me of my stinking pity thinking ..

I am only as peaceful and content as the feelings I choose to give weight and attention and energy to. I must continue consciously choosing which 'wolf' to feed inside and avoid the trap of negative despairing self talk which results in continued discontent and unrest at my very core! Loving myself is not easy some days it takes more work and patience but slowly the reality of my work is emerging even only a week after tragedy in my relationship life. Thanks to my higher power for holding me while I cannot hold myself!

Peace

I am reminded that peace comes from within. I learned that giving peace helps to receive peace.

Love

I learned how important it is to really love yourself. We get so busy that we can forget to take time for ourselves, and that's so important. It's also important to love others in the process and just remember how great you and your friends/family are❤️

If you want it, you got it

it’s all a matter of focus and taking your mind to certain place. happiness and “feeling good”, we all hold the power. It’s all in our mind. It’s only if we want it.

Wishing well being

Extending wishes of well being to even those who have hurt me can help me feel centered and help me heal.

Loving kindness

Starting my morning off with loving kindness to myself and others is such a positive start to my day!

Self compassion

Taking 3 minutes a day and wishing yourself well, and others, can make you feel so much better throughout the day.

Blessings

May I and you be happy. May we be peaceful. May we be healthy. May all of us live with ease. And thinking and feeling these blessings is the magic my power is made of!

Lovingkindness for Ourselves and Others

This was the perfect meditation for Thanksgiving offering an opportunity to be mindful not only of myself but of those I love.

Love

There are so many people in my life that I love and wish the best for. I am very grateful for that.

Giving IS receiving

When I give out loving kindness what I receive is much greater.

Trickling Tuesday 12-5-17

This is an awesome morning meditation. What a way to start your day and feel good about yourself. I also want to pass along the happiness to all you Aura fans and all my Aura friends. Have a blessed day.

Loving Kindness

This little meditation is such an easy way to begin the day even on the busiest of mornings, reminding us to be loving, kind and gentle with ourselves so that we can go out into the world and be loving, kind and gentle to others.

Mindfullness

People seem to be hard wired for meditation rest and hunger for wellness, spiritually, emotionally and psychologically. Peaceful surrender to calming of our psyche

Positive affirmations

The energy you put out into the world is the energy you will have returned to you

Still Struggle with Others

The loving kindness wishes for myself were fine... I know I’m hard on myself, and it’s good to be reminded that I really am blessed. But I struggle to wish good things on others I know because it feels ... like I’m somehow shirking my duty to make them happy at my expense? Am I suffering from long-term Christian guilt when I resent having to make others happy?

Goodwill with intention

I can practice deliberately wishing peace, health, love, ease toward myself and visualizing doing so for others. It takes a passive sense of goodwill and puts my energy into it, feeding back into myself

Caring for others makes you feel good internally. Negative thoughts make you feel shitty

Above caring caring caring and happiness away with a little nervous and caring for the

Open...

It is important to not only give love and kindness but to be open to receive love and kindness as well. ✨☮️✨

May you be happy.

Happiness is a choice. Something I’ve always known but need to be reminded of.

You get what you give

It’s reassuring to know that giving and receiving love and kindness is a cycle. The more you feed into the cycle the more benefit for you and others

Wish the best to every human being

What a wonderful thing to feel all those positives vibes ! Wishing the best for others as i wish for myself made me really happy and i’ll repeat this exercise more often ! As I read in other comments “you get what you give”!

Sharing the Peace

I learned that peacefulness for self is increased by offering peacefulness to others.

🌅

Self affirmations make me feel physically and emotionally good at the center of my well-being. I could feel the change from my center spreading out throughout my whole body. Nice way to start my day🌅🎆🌻

So....

Knowing or telling myself that the people I love and care about are at ease and health when I tell my self that. Btw their voices calm me 😂

The cycle of giving and receiving

It feels great to wish people well in life. Regardless of things that have happened, putting good energy out into the world and into people are what really helps them and even myself.

I need to love myself

That I need to tell myself how much I love myself, wish myself happiness, and how I can also send that to others.

Think love, speak love, be love

I sent wishes first to my mother who is in physical pain, but then remembered others in emotional pain and sent them well wishes too. I hope it reaches them

Do unto ourselves as we do unto others

Being kind and loving towards ourselves enables us to bestow the same to others.

Love without guarantee and be the change you wish to see

If everyone felt love for themselves as well as projecting it towards others the world would be very different. Not everyone does this but be the change you wish to see and hope for a day that you can see the manifestation of that, and that all came because you changed yourself. Love without the guarantee of it being returned, love because you love someone not because you want to be loved back, that's what love is to me.

Self

Loving and being at peace with self allows you to pass on to others.

Loving kindness

It does bring a smile to my face to think of moving with ease and being healthy and how I wish that for others I love

Peace

I learned that - Peace and love is the only way to a better future for us and our Planet X 🙏X

Peace

Ask to find peace, am I happy, am I healthy? It’s good to feel this way and think positive in life

I rediscovered today

I learned that I can no longer be bitter towards myself, my life, my choices, or my experiences and I can’t change how other people think, feel or the choices they make. .Love myself. Love life. Love people. Be care free. Be happy. Be kind. I am the key to my own happiness, my own success.

Share your blessings

Wishing good to come for everyone and everything around you including yourself to take a moment and realize how lucky you are and appreciate how good your life is and wishing these kind blessings to people who may be stressed or struggling in these categories where you may not be and to share your smile with those who surround you

Positive thinking

Not something I just learned but positive feelings about being at ease and asking for someone else to be at ease can make the cup half full again.

Loving kindness

I find affirmations to be a powerful and therapeutic in my meditation practice. Thank you for this practice.

Others

Wish the others what you wish for yourself. With this way you will live a very happy life trust me i know it's hard at first but if you really what to fix what is bad inside you you have to be patient you have to help others and to love seeing them success its one from your very important ways to have a happy baby inside you

I should take the time to wish not just myself happiness, healthy and to live with ease but

Others as well and to stay positive and with a smile on my face ☺️

Lovingkindness

I learned that I am enough as myself. I should appreciate who I am and who others are as well.

Lovingkindness

It is very effective for me to first focus on my well being and then expand that out toward others.

Day 37

This is the type of meditation I needed this morning to go into my day with a positive mindset and attitude

I am

I'm whatever terminology I affirm, ''tis I acquire such attributes

Appreciation

I learned that appreciating other people and wishing them the best makes me feel good.

Good feelings

Offering love towards yourself has the power to change your mood in the mornings, and to make you a happier person throughout the day

twins

we’re never alone have a language all our own identical but we don’t know she’s kinda quiet while I put on a show Like your favorite pair of shoes the ones you’d hate to lose two birds of a feather we go everywhere together sometimes we fight sometimes we cry but don’t ever mess with my sister don’t you even try always on the run always having fun we’re never alone always feel right at home together forever

love and selflessness

i learned that giving love to myself and others may make such a difference in my wellbeing. sending love to others instead of myself even brought more joy into my mind.

May we be happy

I am at my happiest moments when I know that I have affected and effected someone’s day for the better when I have positive energy and well wishes towards them.

Day 3

I learned that we should take better care of ourselves and our minds

Loving kindness

This was awesome. Kindness is a wonderful thing and this meditation was great.

Happiness

I felt that in those three minutes I became a little bit happier

Due to me feeling productive in my night routine tonight I since had great meditation

I can be happy and I can be calm and productive yay meeee I’m so happy that I can be me and be who I’ve always aspired being

Meditación amorosa

Nunca había amado a nadie al grado del dolor. Y simplemente cuando la recuerdo, es mucho más del que puedo soportar.

Good vibes

I enjoyed repeating the intentions toward a loved one. Wishing for happiness, peace and health for myself was good but it felt even better to imagine sending those wishes on to others.

Day 27

I really enjoy meditations that include simple mantras. It helps me keep my focus and allows little room for the mind to wander. Happy. Healthy. Peaceful. At ease.

Love

Loving myself is allowed. Loving myself enhances my love for others and enjoyment of activities, and even mundane things.

Love it

That people should do this everyday to like strength their mind and get them ready for their day.

Me

I am thankful to have my own bedroom and somewhere warm to sleep at night.

Love Love Love

Learning to send love and good wellbeing to those in my past, learning to love parts of myself that ache, and learning to continue to love life in all its infinite beauty.

Wish Well for All

I invited loving kindness for myself and hope all of you may have that this evening as well.

Love This Practice

It is truly a powerful thing to take a few minutes to intentionally offer well-being to one's self and others. The world could use more of it.

Loving kindness

This is always an important meditation for me as I am very critical. I always feel a little lighter after coming away from this, no matter if I have anxiety or not. Definitely recommend. These are good mantras to say everyday.

Loving kindness for yourself and others

I noticed how calming it felt to have space between the words with the 7 minute session. This is a great meditation to start my day and I’m thinking it would be equally good to end my day. I got up and took the pups for a walk first thing. I noticed the sounds of nature were much nicer in the open than I found in the meditation yesterday! Perhaps I should lower the sound. Lol

Loving kindness

I feel that this made me realize I need to forgive people who have hurt me and tell them I wish them the best

Loving-kindness

I felted an embraced loving-kindness with understanding and appreciation for others and myself while meditating with this session. These key things matter most to have a healthy, happy, peaceful relationship with ease. It's a humbling and valuable feeling to touch one another with Trust, Loyalty and Lovingkindness. May I continue to ask and see these things in my life and others lives? May I positively continue to decree that this type of affection is felted from the heart with understanding and appreciation and a gentle touch of Lovingkindness? May I continue to be Thankful for the Kindred Spirit of Lovingkindness? Thank You!

Compassion

Sensing thoughts of loving kindness and compassion is one of the most powerful and peaceful things I can do

Loving Kindness

Loving kindness is the antidote to hate. Wishing others to be safe, happy, healthy and at ease is a sure way to bring it back to ourselves as well. It’s more than just telling someone you love them. To me it feels like love in action when I wish loving kindness upon myself and others. For me, sending out love is more powerful than receiving it, it’s almost like when you’re waiting for a person to take the wrapping paper off a gift and you’re twitching with eagerness because you know it’s something that they have been wanting and will love. So I’m sending out my love to everyone today. I feel it radiating out from my soul! Namaste my friends! ❤️

We are one

This meditation reminded me that we are all one, and when we wish well for ourselves we are also doing it for others and vice versa.

Others

I loved incorporating thoughts of people I know and love into my moment of self care

Feeling good

Lately I have been able to listen to more positive meditations because of how I am feeling, and this one helped me realize how amazing this feeling is so I want to be a reason why others can feel the way I do! Today has been such a good day and this is exactly what I needed!

Wishing people good wellbeing

I just finished working out, hanging out with friends, and yogo. Once I was done with yoga I listened to this. I fell so great right now. “Lovingkindness for ourself and others” thought me how to never be scared to wish someone good health and well-being in a normal conversation. I think now I am going to say I wish you good health and prosperity from now on. ❤️

Giving and receiving

Sharing the light and joy of the Christmas season. This year my presence had to be enough. With gratitude I accepted gifts from others. A smiling & happy baby. Honest conversation with my brothers. Surprised parents. The best hugs from my favorite aunts.

A Favorite

This meditation/affirmation is one of my favorites, that I had forgotten to bookmark. I just discovered that I had done this one over a year ago. Interestingly, I had just been thinking about this affirmation this morning. I stumbled upon it accidentally when trying to test the volume bar. Thank you, Kathy! You reunited me with an old favorite. 😍🙏♥️🙏😍

Wishing Well For Others

I’m often self-focused during these sessions. While I don’t think that’s a bad thing, it’s good to project well being and good for others too, to encourage a stance of patience and empathy towards others.

Smile inducing ...

... the act of wishing well for others warms one’s face into a glad smile! This is going to be a great day 😊🎉

Loving Kindness

This was an amazing meditation about loving yourself and loving others.

I’m in complete awareness of the beauty of loving kindness and it’s power

When I embrace and embody loving kindness I feel the shift of energy towards a lighter and more powerful state of being. I’m more open to receiving loving kindness from others as I express it towards towards myself as a staring point.

Today

I can be positive today and show love and kindness and receive it back!

Morning Affirmations

The cycle of giving and receiving starts off with simple affirmations that actually expand from thought to spoken words to actions which set the course of the day. It’s a choice then how to face the day, whether rough or smooth sailing.

Ourself & others

I learned that I need to be kind to myself in order to be kind to others.

Morning offering

Offering wellbeing wishes & affirmations to others allows me to relinquish the responsibility or ownership of their actions and mood. Offering kindness to others is reciprocally offering it to myself.

Morning awakeness

I feel so bubbly and light after expressing well being wishes for myself and others. I am ready to go into today ready to accept love and kindness and share love and kindness. :)

Offering...

In any given moment, the cycle of receiving and giving is happening all around us. In this metta meditation, we give an offering of well-being to ourselves and others. Doing so, we set a wonderful tone for our day. Settling into an upright position, I began to follow Kristy’s guidance and give myself offerings of well-being. Saying these beautiful words to myself, feelings of love began to sprout in my heart. Bringing to mind someone that I care for, I thought of my friend Lisa. As I said these beautiful words to her, I visualized her beautiful face smiling. Having increasingly feelings of love sprouting in my heart, I realize that I am the embodiment of love. As I reflect on this, I make the intention to do actions throughout my day that show kindness, compassion and love to myself and others. Namaste 🙏🏻❤️☮️

I felt touched, finally

All i need to aspire for myself and others is that we live happily, healthily, peacefully, and with ease.

I felt immediately an urge to perform a random act of kindness a random act of love and or kindnesss

I learned that it is easy and important for yourself and loved ones to offer random acts of love and kindness. I noticed that I smile when thinking of being kind and loving to a friend or loved one for me the reason of being kind and loving with not ulterior motives. I noticed smiling can be easy when dwelling on being kind.

Day 4

I did my mindfulness in the morning rather than night today. I feel i will be able to start my day in the proper mindset for me!

Loving kindness

Kristy this meditation has brought a renewal in my awareness to start my day. I think that if we can learn to share with each other a few kind words it would soften our hearts and bring smiles back to our eyes❤️

Love and Kindness

All I can say is pick love, kindness, and peacefulness over hatred and unkindness

Mellow

I like the soft music and soothing voice of the narrator. It keeps me feeling mellow and calm.

Loving Kindness

I often forget to offer myself the same compassion I offer others. I’m going to write these mantas down and hang them around my home as reminders.

Loving Kindness for Ourselves and Others

I just woke up, so I’m not sure what feelings I have other than anxiety at the moment, but with this meditation and journaling, as well as yoga, I hope to steer myself toward more positive thoughts so that my hearts slows and I stop shaking. Nightmare disorder and seizures means that I usually wake up from awful feelings of anxiety and fear. I’m trying to move my mind away from that constant cycle of deep unpleasantness, but I also understand that it takes time and consideration. I know none of this will happen literally overnight, but this is still me trying to maintain the autonomy of my body and not allowing these feelings to be so pervasive that they affect my health any more than absolutely necessary. This is part of that.

Reflections

Loving kindness A beautiful natural start to my day. Savouring a moment of true peace and wellbeing. I noticed little ripples of anxiety begin to swell ... thought that this feeling won’t last ... I learned I can notice them and allow the fear to be there and coexist with the happiness :)

A cycle

A cycle of well-being to ourselves and upon others. I like that.

Zac

I am really working on dealing with the feeling of loss die to the rift that i feel is happening between us. It is nothing angry or harmful. It is a growing apart that i never thought i would feel from my son.

Loveandkindness

I feel that sharing this with myself and others make my day so much brigther!

Unfocused

Those short meditations are showing me that I am unable to focus

Focus on me

I’m today’s meditation we were to ask ourselves “May I be at ease May I be peaceful etc” and it felt like I was resisting. When told to pose the question on to others it was easy and natural.

1st morning meditation

I feel sad in the morning when the kids go to school and it’s a work day. I feel a little like time is slipping and resentful of work and a sense of loss that we are “losing” some of our time together. It’s a little challenging to feel peaceful when that is lurking. Thinking of my good wishes for Matt can make me feel good in a meditation.

Mindfulness

I learned today that my unease feelings are a reflection of my unease with my surroundings. I feel overwhelmed with what needs to be done before Christmas. Mindfully, I am making a list of what needs to get done and do one item at a time. I know it is time to make a schedule for this spontaneous Goddess.

Day 1

My feet are buzzing. I think I am nervous about how my days will go each morning I wake up.

May I be

I woke up with a tight jaw and my head spinning with all the things I have to accomplish today. This meditation allowed me to get out of my head and send love to a dear friend fighting cancer. After focusing on me then her I just kept repeating the mantra for her. Day 1 peace and love

LovingKindness

I learned that starting my day with this happiness and peacefulness makes a more pleasant person and hoping others start their day with peace and happiness Thank you!!

I felt relaxed. I just worked out. I noticed loving kindness flowed through me and to loved ones.

I learned that even a few minutes matters in holding an intention for self love and cultivating a sense of wellbeing practice.

Loving kindness meditation

I learned that asking for love and peace must be refelected through offering the same to others.

First meditation 7min

My mind wanders a lot and I’m easily distracted. First time I’ve meditated in a long time. Dog coming into my room didn’t help lol - didn’t finish whole 7 min

Busy brain but able to come back 😁

Awareness I am so much more aware of my emotions, behaviours and surroundings. The permission I give myself to be human not rigid, is a gift I can give myself daily. Willingness is the key to many doors worth opening. Amen and thank you Universe ♥️🙏🏽🌸

1st meditation

I learned that I don’t have to get this right away, but just a few moments to centre myself helps calm me. Loving kindness should not only be given to others but to myself 😊
