Why meditation needs loving kindness, a soft-headed practice justified by hard-headed neuroscience. Mindfulness meditation is commonly used as a gateway to positive ideation that in turn sustains positive affect. This concept of ‘loving kindness’ meditation is a way of making the effects of meditation sustainable and permanent while changing our lives to the better. I would argue that this could include ANY positive ideation and activity, from loving and practicing kindness to thinking of and doing meaningful work. Ventured here is the neuropsychology behind this enhancement to meditation that not only justifies the practice of loving-kindness, but simplifies and streamlines the procedure that it entails. And it all has to do with the neuroscience of how we literally feel. Proprioception For affective and cognitive neuroscience, brain imaging (fmri) and ‘in vivo’ or direct stimulation of neuronal structures in the brain are the primary methods to understand how affect in instantiated in the brain, yet cannot account for how neuro-muscular or proprioceptive stimuli modulate affect, or how we tense and relax in our daily lives and how it makes us feel. This has resulted in the general neglect of how these stimuli elicit and inhibit affective states. Below is a brief explanation and simple procedure that demonstrates the role of tension and relaxation in eliciting affect, and provides a much simpler and testable explanation of ‘unique’ affective states such as meditation, peak experience, and ‘flow’, as well as a justification for the specific type of meditation called ‘loving-kindness’ where positive ideation follows and enhances meditative ‘states’. Proprioceptors (sensory receptors) are located in our muscles and joints and respond to changes in the relative activity of the covert musculature. They also induce changes in affective states in the brain. An example of this is how we experience pleasure. Unlike other functions in the brain, from perception to thinking, the neural source of our pleasures are localized in the brain as specialized groups of nerve cells or ‘nuclei’, or ‘hot spots’, located in the midbrain. These nuclei receive inputs from different sources in the nervous system, from proprioceptive stimuli (neuro-muscular activity) to interoceptive stimuli (satiation and deprivation) to cognitive stimuli (novel positive or negative means-end expectancies), and all modulate the activity of these nuclei which release or inhibit endogenous opioids that elicit the rainbow of pleasures which mark our day. For example, relaxation induces opioid activity and is pleasurable, but tension inhibits it and is painful. Similarly, satiation inhibits our pleasure when we eat, and deprivation or hunger increases it. Finally, positive novel means-ends expectancies enhance our pleasures, and negative expectancies inhibit them. Thus, for our sensory pleasures (eating, drinking), watching an exciting movie makes popcorn taste better than when watching a dull or depressing movie. This also applies to when we are relaxed, as thinking or performing meaningful activity is reflected in ‘flow’ or ‘peak’ experiences when we are engaging in highly meaningful behavior while relaxed. (Meaning will be defined as anticipated or current behavior that has branching novel positive implications, such as creating art, doing good deeds or productive work) A simple proof from a simple self-help protocol Just get relaxed using a relaxation protocol such as progressive muscle relaxation, eyes closed rest, or mindfulness, and then follow it by exclusively attending to or performing meaningful activity, or in other words, positive thinking, and avoiding all meaningless activity or ‘distraction’. Keep it up and you will not only stay relaxed, but continue so with a greater sense of wellbeing or pleasure. The attribution of affective value to meaningful behavior makes the latter seem ‘autotelic’, or reinforcing in itself and thus increasing self-control, and the resultant persistent attention to meaning crowds out the occasions we might have spent dwelling on other unmeaningful worries and concerns. Wither Meditation It is important to note that this protocol for emotional control represents sustained positive judgments in a relaxed state, whereas mindfulness represents sustained non-judgments (being in the moment) in a relaxed state. Both sustain relaxation, but only the former increases affective tone (i.e. pleasure) as well as being far easier to sustain and increasing self-control. Indeed, variants of mindfulness (e.g. loving kindness meditation, savoring) recognize this but attribute enhanced affect to highly complex and disembodied (i.e. neglecting the influence or proprioceptive stimuli on neural activity) neurological processes rather than the simple neuro-dynamics of resting states, thus precluding a much simpler and parsimonious explanation of meditation that does not require the postulation of unique neurological and phenomenological states.

Loving kindness for my physical body, loving kindness for the physical bodies of others. May it be free from danger and enmity. May it not suffer. May it attain immortality.
Loving kindness for the body! Loving kindness, they can be tangled up, however let those energy entanglements be gracefully removed, may bodies continue to incarnate peacefully with enough space and in harmony with the universe, loving kindness for the buddha energy fields that disengage the energy from traps of negativity and ignorances that cause suffering. Loving kindness bodies receive wholesome foods not the product of suffering and abuse of life energies, society is manifesting as vegetarian and vegan, the angelic faculties of the mind find it easy to live through the body, loving kindness there is only love, more love now in the universe for the physical bodies, there is more preservation of nature and also compassion within nature for the angelic world. Loving kindness continue to manifest in the conditions for very healthy body, reflecting truth of universe, be free from danger and enmity. Avalokitesvara

Loving kindness for christina brooks, she is still able to relax her mind And float downstream loving kindness, she is surrounded by good vibes and wisdom in nature, and even sometimes in human beings (just enough) She will meet favorable circumstances for health and friendship/exchange between cultures in the USA, loving kindness although we do not know if this is christiba brooks first time in the USA or if she is grom the USA just looking to appreciate it today and now with the beginner mind without bias. She will see myriad cultures and aspects of civilization around the world within reach of eachother through miraculous american roots and trees, her heart will have compassion on all these stories of all peoples and tribes of all kinds and it will absorb their lessons. Lovingkindness, more tribes will be respected in years to come,more folktales and spirit wisdom of peoples untouched by civilization as we know it will be rereleased by publishers and by certsin encyclopedia internet websites. Lovingkindness for these sacred stories and the lengths gone through to protect and preserve them
Lovingkindness for JAMES GHIDINELLI, there will always be a spiritual principle of mercy in the world, lovingkindness You have an internet connection, your privacy is safe on that connection, and you are free to access information gathered freely and creatively as you wish.

Lovingkindness because sround JAME GHIDINELLI is an aura of compassion for environmentalists
Lovingkindness for schools in Brazil, may fortunate things continue to happen there, may scholastic endeavors be attractive and fruitful in Brazil, may teachers be kind, wise and relaxed, with the heart wisdom it takes to not only teach but truly plant the seeds of understanding throughout life! May students be allowed to pass even without homework, if they complete all major projects and pass tests etc, in other words may homework be not for a grade, only In-class work, tests and major projects done out of school. We are asking the spirits of the plants to teach as well alongside or through our human teachers in the Brazilian school systems, what human systems teach is what brings success now, yet what nature teaches is what makes priorities good and that success lifelong because it is aligned with wisdom and wise goals in the big picture. Loving kindness for the lives of the Brazilians, they will see environmentalist success with sincere effort, and the payback of this will be unimaginable tangible and spiritual at once
Loving kindness for the Homeless, may they at least be able to meditate and to attain real buddhahood, egolessness, and transcendence of suffering. The insights they attain are buddha fruits, loving kindness, may these fruits be redeemable in various ways, wisdom passed on concerning liberation from suffering inspires someone who is then moved to compassion, giving gifts that in the root language improve the incarnation of buddhas on the earth and their ability to liberate consciousness even without a concept of a self, others, or a universal self. Loving kindness for souls experiencing the universe as it naturally is, may they realize that it is in fact not an endless realm of struggle and defense but an enlightened realm where wisdom yields lasting peace. Loving kindness, may heartache be able to connect and empathize in graceful ways and may they be able to more effortless overcome obstacles to the hearts principles that make life worthliving. Loving kindness for all beings.
Loving kindness for the Homeless, a beam of reiki is pouring out especially for you from the zazen heart of the universe, your wisdom and luck will be especially strong for you in these times, the spirits of the herbs lend themselves to you, they will protect you from disease. Loving kindness, reiki energy is arranging the universe to remember you not as someone without a home, but as your original self, saves of reiki like the tides of the ocean are passing in, dissolving blockages. Compassion is a spring opening through your meditative practices, you are stabilizing to be able to see lifeforce and reiki energy, living like the anciest taoist sages, not in mental bondage. The petals of the flowers are open now, there are enough fruits of life to support you there are fresh raspberries and there are dewberries, the buddha of earth sees that you may partake of these edible wildfoods without exploiting and desecrating nature. The spirit of Jack Kerouac is with you, the rambling joyful buddhas of america are with you. The heart chakra finds a way to bring samadhi and friendships that matter. Thank you for fulling your karma in this life, thank you for existing as spirit. Thank you for reviving wisdoms on our planet wherever you may be. Empty your bowl so that it may be filled - zen code
Loving kindness, not everyone can use such a pure metaphor, and yet loving kindness for the wisdom for nonattachment (May the temple doors truly be left open for the homeless, Open hearted people of America)
Lovingkindness for people in houses, may they also be able to meditate and have access to some authentic wisdom energy, so that they might make good decisions with the wealth their karma brings to them in order for it to activate further good karma and eventually buddhahood as a householder. Loving kindness, may the energy use in homes and hearths be more ecofriendly than it was 7 years ago, loving kindness for hippy inventions like the electric car (clean energy) and heroic efforts of wholistic food brands like Nature's Promise for making food goods that are low environmental impact, nonGMO and from practices designed to give back to nature ewually or more than what is depleted available to everyone. More companies are feeling social and legal pressures to adapt more integrity on practices especially in what has eco inpact such as construction or food, this pressure is burning off their karma when they comply, and in many cases improving the third eye, they eventually realize the path that doesnt harm is best for both would be victims and wouod be perpetrators. Civilization itself is reaching a point of enlightenment. May they find themselves truly richer in all ways that matter for not exploiting earths one of a kind treasures and providing care to says from the heart not to statistics from the cold machine. Loving kindness, marijuana flowers are seen with buddha not with deranged violence, the system itself is less corrupt than it once was, all we must do is be grateful but be sure to keep it growing as well. When what is in the hearth is no longer unconscious vampirism sucking life from the earth but mindful and restorable clean energy filtered not only by authorities guarantee but by individual third eye sensitivity the world we live in everyday is a drastically different place. Loving kindness for the wisdom marijuana (HASHISH) is bringing to the world as it flowers again freely, grown naturally around and by people (and selflessness itself in the wild) in a safer but no less pure state of consciousness. Lovingkindness, hemp has been utilized to its fullest known capacity in energy, meditation, and medicine, though as usual its closely followed studies have been marred by buddhist code,the truth is we are half as wasteful as we had been, we are half as prone to sickliness as we had been, we are half as stressed, because a plant consciousness is connecting us to a higher wisdom in the spiritual dimension. Lovingkindness for the breakthroughs cannabis is causing in people right now pulling them from unnecessary unchillness into the buddha, may the insights be remembered and may the wisdon save this world. Loving kindness for the people and for their privacy and dignity, may they be able to be imbued by emotions and alignments to be glowing truly good people in the world they exist in.
I am grateful for the buddha I have right now, and by that I mean Marijuana! I am grateful for marijuana samadhi! Because I have marijuana (the Buddha; חשיש HASHISH) I have a house, Without the buddha (marijuana, but also equally meditation) I see wild chaotic nature, with the buddha, I see in the same, without alterations an undeniable place for myself. I am grateful therefore that Buddha has allowed me to see and not waste trying to alter that which already has a place for me. I am grateful that the nature of all is already enlightened as soon as my own eye is, because there are no buddhas and no laypeople. Because of this satori
I feel like im betraying my loved ones if I consider myself. I can't wait for this to over. The burden I feel selfishness in conflict with sacrifice...i think. I just want to be a better person
Jhon Famo WOW. In saying that, you are demonstrating just how little you don’t need to be a better person. You must consider yourself if you wish to meet what seems like your natural imperative to be compassionate for those around you. Has no one ever told you this?
Loving kindness for the Amazon rainforest, as a whole it is in a better condition in this month of April, zodiac favors it in this time, a lot of people with hearts have made it a priority after hearing of environmental injustices there! There is a nightmare that is happening in the minds of those who had come to the Amazon or considered it, with ideas of exploiting it for profit, disturbing the life there. The nightmare is like a ghost teaching them to value what is truly important and life, not to exploit themselves and others and sell out over things like money that are actually not so important when we have eyes that can see the value in a soul. Loving kindness, because this is an important mature this is a bit stern (still, with cooperation it can be the beginning of a long and very real arc of recovery for all of Earth,ignored, it can be the beginning of philosophical hell); bow to the Amazon, respect from afar, allow nature to recuperate, and be spared the horrid fate of being trapped blind when someone has sacrificed all of true meaning in this world for the illusions of the commercial. This is what we are saying, for those who devote to the highest truths and wholesome things in life, wealth is paradoxically always there, while those who believe that those things can be exploited or neglected for wealth and wealth alone may achieve short happiness but ultimately the higher self sees that wealth does not last. This is both simple and profound and this is the prime lesson that the Amazon has for earth as a whole right now, we are lucky to be able to even hear this teaching, may we respect and be able to integrate it well, if we have not already or even if it is just a reminder may it bring us back with the passion of beginners
Avalokitesvara! Reciting this name, trees and wildlife of the rainforest are spared from poachers and loggers, the river is spared corruption and good things flow to the every day people of Brazil without them having to resort to the cannibalism of their own national (and every being on this Earth's international treasure - the Amazon affects us all) treasure, loving kindness Creativity give brazil the gifts and Buddha seeds it needs so that it can truly let it's wildside grow in the healthiest way possible. They say they will desecrate, but when the times comes they do not, the Buddha has preserved, and so have indigenous religions, sacred plants and folklore.
sweetheart this gets a bit too much. i was a mushy person as a child, for example caring for homeless, they misused me. Ad what is it about the Dalai Llama when he sticks out his tongue and asks the child to suck on it. What direction are you coming from. Please answer.

I am twin and have had the same thing with loneliness ✨
That isn't easy talking to a angry people.

Loving kindness for the Homeless, may they at least be able to meditate and to attain real buddhahood, egolessness, and transcendence of suffering. The insights they attain are buddha fruits, loving kindness, may these fruits be redeemable in various ways, wisdom passed on concerning liberation from suffering inspires someone who is then moved to compassion, giving gifts that in the root language improve the incarnation of buddhas on the earth and their ability to liberate consciousness even without a concept of a self, others, or a universal self.
Loving kindness for souls experiencing the universe as it naturally is, may they realize that it is in fact not an endless realm of struggle and defense but an enlightened realm where wisdom yields lasting peace. Loving kindness, may heartache be able to connect and empathize in graceful ways and may they be able to more effortless overcome obstacles to the hearts principles that make life worthliving. Loving kindness for all beings.
This is heart chakra
Loving kindness for the Homeless, a beam of reiki is pouring out especially for you from the zazen heart of the universe, your wisdom and luck will be especially strong for you in these times, the spirits of the herbs lend themselves to you, they will protect you from disease.
Loving kindness, reiki energy is arranging the universe to remember you not as someone without a home, but as your original self, saves of reiki like the tides of the ocean are passing in, dissolving blockages.
Compassion is a spring opening through your meditative practices, you are stabilizing to be able to see lifeforce and reiki energy, living like the anciest taoist sages, not in mental bondage.
The petals of the flowers are open now, there are enough fruits of life to support you there are fresh raspberries and there are dewberries, the buddha of earth sees that you may partake of these edible wildfoods without exploiting and desecrating nature. The spirit of Jack Kerouac is with you, the rambling joyful buddhas of america are with you. The heart chakra finds a way to bring samadhi and friendships that matter. Thank you for fulling your karma in this life, thank you for existing as spirit. Thank you for reviving wisdoms on our planet wherever you may be.

The Temple doors are open to you, Buddhas (come in if you need rest, the realized soul is never homeless!)
CuteAura Increasing , good karma increasing (every good deed counts) , too much love, too much environmentalism
Loving kindness, not everyone can use such a pure metaphor, and yet loving kindness for the wisdom for nonattachment
(May the temple doors truly be left open for the homeless,
Open hearted people of America)
Lovingkindness for people in houses, may they also be able to meditate and have access to some authentic wisdom energy, so that they might make good decisions with the wealth their karma brings to them in order for it to activate further good karma and eventually buddhahood as a householder. Loving kindness, may the energy use in homes and hearths be more ecofriendly than it was 7 years ago, loving kindness for hippy inventions like the electric car (clean energy) and heroic efforts of wholistic food brands like Nature's Promise for making food goods that are low environmental impact, nonGMO and from practices designed to give back to nature ewually or more than what is depleted available to everyone. More companies are feeling social and legal pressures to adapt more integrity on practices especially in what has eco inpact such as construction or food, this pressure is burning off their karma when they comply, and in many cases improving the third eye, they eventually realize the path that doesnt harm is best for both would be victims and wouod be perpetrators. Civilization itself is reaching a point of enlightenment.
May they find themselves truly richer in all ways that matter for not exploiting earths one of a kind treasures and providing care to says from the heart not to statistics from the cold machine. Loving kindness, marijuana flowers are seen with buddha not with deranged violence, the system itself is less corrupt than it once was, all we must do is be grateful but be sure to keep it growing as well. When what is in the hearth is no longer unconscious vampirism sucking life from the earth but mindful and restorable clean energy filtered not only by authorities guarantee but by individual third eye sensitivity the world we live in everyday is a drastically different place.
Loving kindness for the wisdom marijuana (HASHISH) is bringing to the world as it flowers again freely, grown naturally around and by people (and selflessness itself in the wild) in a safer but no less pure state of consciousness. Lovingkindness, hemp has been utilized to its fullest known capacity in energy, meditation, and medicine, though as usual its closely followed studies have been marred by buddhist code,the truth is we are half as wasteful as we had been, we are half as prone to sickliness as we had been, we are half as stressed, because a plant consciousness is connecting us to a higher wisdom in the spiritual dimension.
Lovingkindness for the breakthroughs cannabis is causing in people right now pulling them from unnecessary unchillness into the buddha, may the insights be remembered and may the wisdon save this world.
Loving kindness for the people and for their privacy and dignity, may they be able to be imbued by emotions and alignments to be glowing truly good people in the world they exist in.
I am grateful for the buddha I have right now, and by that I mean Marijuana!
I am grateful for marijuana samadhi!
Because I have marijuana (the Buddha; חשיש HASHISH) I have a house,
Without the buddha (marijuana, but also equally meditation)
I see wild chaotic nature, with the buddha, I see in the same, without alterations an undeniable place for myself.
I am grateful therefore that Buddha has allowed me to see and not waste trying to alter that which already has a place for me.
I am grateful that the nature of all is already enlightened as soon as my own eye is, because there are no buddhas and no laypeople.
Because of this satori
Loving kindness for Punk Rock
I feel like im betraying my loved ones if I consider myself. I can't wait for this to over. The burden I feel selfishness in conflict with sacrifice...i think. I just want to be a better person
Jhon Famo WOW. In saying that, you are demonstrating just how little you don’t need to be a better person. You must consider yourself if you wish to meet what seems like your natural imperative to be compassionate for those around you. Has no one ever told you this?
Loving kindness for the Amazon rainforest, as a whole it is in a better condition in this month of April, zodiac favors it in this time, a lot of people with hearts have made it a priority after hearing of environmental injustices there!
There is a nightmare that is happening in the minds of those who had come to the Amazon or considered it, with ideas of exploiting it for profit, disturbing the life there. The nightmare is like a ghost teaching them to value what is truly important and life, not to exploit themselves and others and sell out over things like money that are actually not so important when we have eyes that can see the value in a soul.
Loving kindness, because this is an important mature this is a bit stern (still, with cooperation it can be the beginning of a long and very real arc of recovery for all of Earth,ignored, it can be the beginning of philosophical hell); bow to the Amazon, respect from afar, allow nature to recuperate, and be spared the horrid fate of being trapped blind when someone has sacrificed all of true meaning in this world for the illusions of the commercial.
This is what we are saying, for those who devote to the highest truths and wholesome things in life, wealth is paradoxically always there, while those who believe that those things can be exploited or neglected for wealth and wealth alone may achieve short happiness but ultimately the higher self sees that wealth does not last.
This is both simple and profound and this is the prime lesson that the Amazon has for earth as a whole right now, we are lucky to be able to even hear this teaching, may we respect and be able to integrate it well, if we have not already or even if it is just a reminder may it bring us back with the passion of beginners
Avalokitesvara! Reciting this name, trees and wildlife of the rainforest are spared from poachers and loggers, the river is spared corruption and good things flow to the every day people of Brazil without them having to resort to the cannibalism of their own national (and every being on this Earth's international treasure - the Amazon affects us all) treasure, loving kindness Creativity
give brazil the gifts and Buddha seeds it needs so that it can truly let it's wildside grow in the healthiest way possible. They say they will desecrate, but when the times comes they do not, the Buddha has preserved, and so have indigenous religions, sacred plants and folklore.
sweetheart this gets a bit too much. i was a mushy person as a child, for example caring for homeless, they misused me. Ad what is it about the Dalai Llama when he sticks out his tongue and asks the child to suck on it. What direction are you coming from. Please answer.
