Don’t Throw Anyone Out of Your Heart + Cultivating Compassion + How to Love Others + Science of Loving Kindness Meditation

Season 2 Episode 2 When we cultivate compassion for our self, specifically through loving kindness meditation, we cultivate compassion for others. How we treat ourself and our ability to meet ourself in any moment, often dictates how we treat others and meet them where they are in the journey of life.  In the meditation practice of loving kindness, a buddhist practice called metta, it is the practice of befriending ourself, life, and all others. In this episode we discuss: How to live with others with an open heartRam Dass and his teachings on loving kindnessThe science of loving kindness meditation (LKM)How LKM reduces bias and discrimination What it means to love everybodyHow LKM impacts the amygdala and vagus nerve The practice of Loving Kindness Meditation to othersFor more practices on Loving Kindness, visit daphnelyon.com/love - and if you are new to the practice membership, join today for a free week on me and explore the on demand library full of meditation, breath work, yoga, workouts, myofasical restorative release, deep rest for sleep, journaling prompts and more at www.daphnelyon.com/membership Connect with me on IG @thepractice
