When we practise loving-kindness meditation, we have the opportunity to generate positive emotional states that help dissolve whatever feelings of heaviness, sadness or bitterness we might be carrying from the past. When we focus our awareness on the heart we naturally begin to generate a field of loving awareness that spreads outwards impacting others. Each of us carries our own unique energy field, and this energy field radiates a subtle or more dominant vibration that each person we come into contact with can sense at some level. Practising filling ourselves up with our own loving kindness and directing that loving kindness outwards will have a ripple effect, touching each and every individual we come into contact with. Each thought and feeling we contain is on some level effecting the vibration of our own energy field. Reconnecting with and harnessing the power of our own loving-kindness has a profoundly healing effect on our entiure being. Harnessing this love by practising self-forgiveness and forgiveness for others helps gently but surely liberate us from the past. Listen to this meditation daily to release painful past impressions, and move forward with an enhanced sense of self-love and equanimity.
