What do you do when you care deeply about a situation, but you cannot control the outcome? Metta, the Buddhist practice of loving-kindness, offers another way forward. Rather than trying to change what is beyond your control, you can choose the energy, intention and love you bring to it. Welcome to Episode 173 of The Orgasmic Lifestyle Podcast. In this Third Quarter Moon episode, I guide you through a powerful Metta meditation that moves through five phases: yourself, a loved one, a neutral person, someone you find challenging, and finally, all beings. Together, we’ll expand our capacity for love and compassion, beginning within ourselves and gradually extending these feelings towards others and the wider world. Find a comfortable position, close your eyes, take a deep breath and allow yourself to become fully present. Begin with yourself, open your heart, and allow your loving-kindness to expand towards all beings.
