I cried during this mediation whilst thinking of my grandma who died years ago this practice I felt quite spiritual & your voice is like an angel from heaven
Thank you Emma! Very helpful for us beginners. Got everybody up before school and listened. Sometimes I think we all have PTSD to greater or lesser extent. It's a dog eat dog world and competition/consumption is the cornerstone of western society. News brings terror into our homes and we forget what it means to be human and part of nature, part of the whole. As a parent, it is often hard to get through, to bring peace even in our homes. I want to keep trying things like this. I am glad you are here.
One of the best Metta meditation so far! I liked so many things about it: the voice, being circled by the love of friends and family was a beautiful feeling. But particularly with Metta I always struggle when I have to imagine to direct my love to all the beings, here with just a simple but so smart tip (no spoiler here, you have to find out by yourself ;-) it worked perfectly, thank you!
(lovingkindess; i am responding unattachedly from the zazen posture): "yes, it is kind that nature provides us some forms of love that are appropriate for any situation, the enlightened must 'cling' to these forms, through nonattachment!" all nonkarmic energy blockages are removed DIVINEBUDDHISTPARADOX
This meditation is just Fantastic, after this you'll feel like having a Booster of energy towards all people you're going to meet. Excellent to live this❤️
This is the first time ever after meditating for years that I have wept. Picturing my daughters next to me and the way you guided me to feel their love and send them happiness was beautiful. (They are both healthy). Going to go give them a hug! My new regular meditation.
Thank you for sharing your gift of this meditation Emma. I am fortunate to be surrounded by many loving people and I wish that all of those around me live with ease & happiness. NMRK.
One of my favorite videos to listen to for a loving kindness meditation. Her voice is so soothing. I feel so peaceful and relaxed after meditating. Thanks for sharing!
Loving kindness for Kendra R, her face shines again with an old radiance, and her thoughts produce a halo and good fortune in her life and those around her; she meditates successfully. Flowing through life and overcoming its challenges fairly easily with wisdom, kindness lessens the intensity of tribulation for her and lengthens her relaxation and joys- a series of fortunate events. Loving kindness for Kendra R, may she save energy by cutting off appliances when not in use, may she dress warmly in the winter so as to need slightly less heat, may she not purchase firewood. When she makes the meditative intention to be sensitive to the ecosystem of the planet, the effect it has in her life becomes exponential and turns the flow of other lives around her towards environmentalist beneficial activities also.

This ^^^^ is a good thing! KANZEON Bodhisattva is thoroughly cleansing and updating this meditation to the modern heart is order to keep it an optimal experience for all in tune with their personal karmas and spiritual need. Do not be shy to try this meditation again whenever you like! You are safe wherever you go! Enlightenment is the fruit of the heart - to Anna-Maria from the Heart of the Universe
Thank you so much, I've searched many videos and this one is my favorite, no music, no didactic introductions, no mentions of benefits or weird tangents or superstition. Calm voice. Good recording. May you be happy, may you be well, and may you be free from suffering.
I've practiced beautiful and effective loving-kindness meditations for some time, and this one was very pleasant too. For me it helps to visualize the love as light shining from the heart center and direct it at the specific object. Using directions where to place the people really helped, rather than just generating an abstract presence of them. Thanks for sharing this one!
The consciousness of divine love is the oneness not illusory separation of consciousness, kindness is reminding you that really all of it is you, the divine being! Profound yet such thoughts can liberate us from bondage
I found your meditation, 7 years ago and still the best meditation according to my experience. I like a lot the mantras for kind people sitting right or left or anywhere. Amazing effect on Me. Brava e grazie 👉👉👍
I too imagined close people who are already dead. With correct motivation this is a powerful meditation, making it easier to practice equanimity. I am going to use this to achieve a cooperation which would ordinarily not be possible.
I cried xD literally, less than 5 minutes have passed and it overpowered me. Very powerful, it was a bit hard to deal with for me, I like to be in control of my emotions :3 still, yes. it surprised me
Thanks for this meditation, I found it from a link at mindfulness Ireland.I try to do it every day.I hear helped me so much you have a very relaxing voice and give a beautiful message.
Loving kindness for american patriots who might happen to live in other countries but live with a message of peaceful freedom & conversely disgust for all forms of oppression. respect for all walks of life equall. People who defend that freedom and diversity with their sincerest intention. America bows to you and you have our tai chi support.. Freedom! We have scouts who identify these patriotic souls and they get the best reception. The path of unity of all tribes is the other path that can be called superior, no exclusion. USA represents this harmony by welcoming all ... thank you earth
Thanks for all the wonderful comments, so glad you like the meditation! For more on the science of happiness and meditation, check out my book The Happiness Track: www.emmaseppala.com/book I am giving away a free meditation album to everyone who pre-orders. It includes the loving-kindness meditation.
Loving Kindness for Emma Seppala, the angels have officially noted her merits and her spirit enjoys a more favorable reincarnation, a significant part of what improved her karma in her incarnation as Emma Seppala was literally this video on Loving Kindness which she posted onto youtube and helped many people, animals, plants, and also the entire ecosystem of the planet. Loving kindness, she will reincarnate with no enemies, in a comfortable situation, she will be surrounded by wise and happy people and partake of happiness herself, and most notably, she will enjoy many many hours of seated zazen meditation and write many thought provoking and satori inducing poems which will reach a wide variety of audiences and provide a refreshing wind of zen and natural gratitude into their lives. Just enough
This makes my body shake and gives me spasms. I don't know why. Edit: also forgot to say thank you for the wonderful work. I enjoy your articles on psychology today, and I loved your ted talks. I'm a struggling neurodivergent psychology student and your researches give me solid hope.
Lovingkindness, lovingkindness, decency in the universe! May Deborah also be happy, healthy, and may she be liberated from suffering forever. She is beautiful and she is on easy mode today, because we are as well! Aloha :) We've learned to relax more
Loving kindness, my I remember all the good qualities of my lucky neighbor, & forget the bad, because it is not significant. Loving kindness, may my lucky neighbor be able to feel some empathy with me, & not be harmed. The spirit of LuckyShalom acts in effective ways to prevent harm. Loving kindness that we are treating one another respectfully and not as superior or inferior, we consider one another enough to want to ensure the other similar level comforts and joys. Loving kindness, through luck we are able to provide satori (a relaxed japanese term from the zen tradition meaning "liberating insight") to one another, allowing us to transcend unchill behavior, stop wasting energy, & live more authentically lucky happy lives with Ahimsa (absence of violence). Loving kindness, my neighbor is a spiritual book, by someone like Buddha, and by living they are expressing the teachings. I often see my lucky neighbor in seated meditation, I am so thankful that this is a sage who finds empathy with me. Loving kindness, my disposition toward my neighbor is soft, my respect for my neighbor is genuine. True Love; kosher. Loving kindness for phrases that help both me and my neighbor to seem cute. We practice common sense. Loving kindness may we be depicted as we truly are. The truth is beautiful! We are reaping spiritual rewards.
Loving kindness, my soul is full of energy and yet I have no labors, only play, my spirit and body is beautiful, and so is the temple and the forest connected to it. Loving kindness, that temple is always clean and calm, I never see large groups there, if anyone at all, Its always quiet and sacred, I am lucky to live near it, and I hope that its interfaith blessing can spread in all directions. Loving kindness, there are no duties for me at this time, and I have no lack, everything I need I have in abundance, this is a favourable circumstance and you also find yourself in a similar predicament. It is kind that those who came before us created such a strong infrastructure that we would not go in lack, the wisdom is good to acknowledge, so that we may find more and more of it. Loving kindness, humanity will not continue abusing the ecosystem, harmony will be improved and longevity continued, as the wisdom, small ingenius things slipped into the plan by those before us for these very reasons, becomes clear to us. Loving kindness, may we think in the same way and now do our part to add small cute wisdoms thats will help us and those who come later on. Cute!
thanks for your help, I was stuck in my life, my spouse left me and my world collapse, but you show me a powerful tool and I really wish to thank you for that
Loving kindness for the Latino peoples, may the Latino peoples prosper and have much people may they be free from addiction to drugs, and instead with their traditional beneficial wisdom of herbs. Loving kindness. May the cities of Mexico be safe, clean, and friendly places. May the wilderness of Mexico be kept sacred and not desecrated. May other heritages look kindly upon the country of Mexico, and also other Latino countries, may the spirit of virtue continue to overcome over the spirit of corrupt. Loving kindness.
Loving kindness for all beings, may all beings be free from Enmity and danger, and may they take care of themselves happily. Loving kindness may all beings enjoy inner peace and may the planet enjoy peace. May all beings be healthy, and happy; May you always have the health and the wealth that you need. May all beings enjoy the ultimate happiness, that of nirvana itself. Loving kindness for the questions, and for the answers. May the truthseekers continue to find truth and may the truth that they find be in actuality true kindness.
Loving kindness for me, may I be free from inner and outter danger, may I be healthy, may I always have the wealth I need, loving kindness, may I continue to improve the practice of virtues in my life. Loving kindness, may I receive more feedback from others who I communicate with before I alienate them by talking too much. Loving kindness, I would enjoy meeting someone secular who doesn't mind talking to me a lot, without me having to respond.
Having tested a lot of loving kindness meditations, this one which emphasis on vizualisations rather than phrases is fantastic. I am grateful that you shared this ! Also, your study speak about a 22 minutes version of this meditation, can you share this one too ? In all cases, thanks a lot for what you do !! Best regards, from France 😊
Loving kindness for Mindah-Lee Kumar may she remain in a childlike state forever, and never lose her well placed enthusiasm and naivete, may she inspire in us the meditation to also have a similar fate. Loving kindness for The Enthusiastic Buddhist, enlightenment is not outside of this.
So glad you found it to Helen. I made some changes to my website so now this is one of the only places you can find the meditation online however you can also find it on the SATTVA meditation app:)
Loving kindness for my cute body; may it attract the synergies it needs and may my skin complexion be clear and clean, loving kindness, may me & my family always maintain a youthful appearance and lucid speaking style, and be full of inner wisdom. Loving kindness may my aura be INDIE ROCK. Thank you
Beautiful it was nice knowing I sent good vibes and love to people I know and don't know, the whole wide world ♥. Question when you said say it silent,the words, was that supposed to be in our heads or in a small whisper tone?
Loving kindness for my feminine girlish body, may it be healthy, may it be cute. Gratitude for its processes and its innocence and majesty. Loving kindness for my hands, they will not wrinkle from much work, loving kindness, I have it good this life, I work at the temple. Gratitude for Deity that sustains me and forms my body. Gratitude for my feminine quiet temperment and nonjudgementalness. Loving kindness for my eyes, deep beauty and clarity. Spirit of Cleanliness
Like my guided meditations? Sattva, my fave #meditation app, is now hosting them on iPhone - appsto.re/us/qOhF3.i & Android - play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.meditation.tracker.android&hl=en
Thank you so much for the practice! So different than I am useful, I really found it to be helpful. +emmaseppala... Could you be willing to share this practice on the Insight Timer app? Be well.
Loving kindness for Arabians, may the Arabian peoples prosper and have much peace, may the morals of old Arabian folktales be followed and remembered, providing justice and prolonging the tradition of goodly magic in Arabian society, may the people have heart and righteousness, not misled into violence but rooted in the boundless love of the true mystics, Rumi, Hafiz, and many others. May the negative culture stereotypes about Arabia be dispersed by the recognition of the truly good and moral people from there. Loving kindness for Arabians who only wish to live in a peaceful place, where there are no guns or violence. Loving kindness, may the people of Israel practice more kindness towards their Arabian neighbors, may the spirit of the true faith inspire many gifts and friendships, rather than animosity. Loving kindness, may the news focus on the heroes on both sides, expressing mature and unbending love rather than conflict and through this appropriate focus may that love grow and grow, for harmony that is lasting. Loving kindness for the music of the Arabian culture, and also its unique aura and wisdom, may the world see through the many illusions that bury this culture in obscurity and be able to remember and exalt its true gifts. Thank you. Ahimsa.
Dr. Seppala, thank you for posting this meditation on RUclips. The link on the Berkeley website is not working. I am going through DBT Training through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs healthcare system and we are on the Mindfulness Handout 8: Practicing Loving Kindness to Increase Love and Compassion. I was looking for a guided meditation and found this one after a little bit of digging. It was great to find a meditation from a reputable source with a voice that is conducive to meditation. I hope that you have a beautiful day and I wish you continued success.
Thank you so much for this wonderful message. I hope you will help many veterans, our work studying breathing (Skybreath meditation in particular) with veterans has been very near and dear to my heart.
You're welcome. Thank you for replying to my message. I am sorry for the confusion. I am a veteran in the class. However, I do intend to help my brothers and sisters in arms by sharing this video with them. Thank you for working to help us. I will need to look into Skybreath.
@@pauline4581 Thank you for your service and for clarifying! Yes sky breath can be learned through a nonprofit called Project Welcome Home Troops projectwelcomehometroops.org/
Loving kindness for Hasidic Jews in Maryland! May we prosper may we be openminded & may we be remembered for our strong environmentalist values & encouragement of questioning all. Loving kindness, may our weekly prayers make the bread of the community always leaven, may our spiritual centers be open to all, and may we see God as alive in the divine names & traditions of all cultures not just our own. Loving kindness for jewish lawyers, may your effect on local law be for the benefit of ALL not just one group. *a jewish lawyer vs. construction companies preventing construction & urbanization in our diverse State.* MONTGOMERY COUNTY AND OTHERS. "if we respect ourselves we will not build but focus on getting the most enjoyable & needed businesses into rentable office space & commercial buildings already available (we currently have too many food stores, not enough bookstores, diversion such as minigolfs, arcades (Dave & Busters), not enough punk rock houses)"
Great meditation, but what about people who struggle to evoke loving feelings even towards close relatives or pets? For instance, I certainly experience a sort of "cognitive empathy" for my parents and my pets and usually show altruistic behavior towards them, but I don't quite feel deep loving feelings while doing so. Is there any workaround or alternative approach for people in this condition in order to ignite and amplify the feeling of loving kindness?
Wellbeing Seeker just keep saying the statements. A famous teacher of LK meditation (Sharon Salzberg?) said it took her weeks to feel much, but she still said The statements. Eventually it sparked and her heart flowered beautiful. Now she’s one of the worlds foremost LK advocates. The statements build the pathways in your brain that eventually evoke the feelings and the behaviors, so just keep saying them.
What about ppl we don't like, or have anger, etc towards? Can we picture them in place of the acquaintance(s)? (I tried it tonight). Love this meditation, thank you. 4/21/16
Loving kindness for my teeth I have been brushing more often, I see improvement (loving kindness) and I will like to keep up the practice. This is throat chakra
Loving kindness, I have actually seen improvement in my dental health. I am very thankful that I set this intention out to the universe, thought has manifesting power, the results were surprisingly effective.
Loving-kindness, the teeth in my mouth have remained clean & innocent, without requiring an extreme amount of diligence, just small morning and night care, I am at this time able to refer to a clean mouth as one of my best qualities. Before such a good energy could fade after accumulating so long, I had time to appreciate the cleanliness of my teeth and mouth as a center of health in interconnection with the health of all parts of my body and in the big picture, all parts of the world! I find less need to say words describing bad things and so do those around me. LovingKindness is an aura crystal from which I am aligning the manifesting principle to result such that only good things come out of my mouth and may only good things enter my mouth More often that which is said is what must be said for good, this is worth thanks, in other words less waste. So I am grateful for the meditation on my teeth.
Lovingkindness for Emma Seppälä May her bodily health and form improve in some subtle yet good way that would not have occurred if she was practicing rigid "mindfulness" instead by not shunning awareness by any means yet approaching it more from a perspective of being aware with an open heart that therefore sometimes relaxes and can be less perceptive at times. Loving kindness for the good things that can happen when we don't analyze everything back to an exact atom in the lab but instead simply allow the mystery while being present with things in a more soul conscious way within the world. Loving kindness, for example though those who arrive at this video (therefore experiencing a similar blessing as Emma does) do so from many locations around the world (and with privacy, loving kindness) we do not know eachother specifically and yet the presence of the conscious energy turned to compassion is never the less real for us and inspiring to experience and realise we have ability to feel it any time. May the buddhi of compassion divert misfortune occurrences and increase our wisdom. Thank you for being one place where such a buddhi arose, Emma, and although
I see Emma's heart in an even better health that it was when this meditation began, she is in the posture of bodhisattva, helping innumerable beings without concepts, and yet they are led and secured into final nirvana. What this means is that the healed heart creates a wavefield dissolving blockages of health in the surroundings, liberating from perception and relationship to life as bondage. Consciousness is arriving at this meditation and being told that it can let go, that it is a new plateau for the heart that is ready to manifest, therefore loving kindness for this seed of meditation planted by Emma Seppälä It is karmic In the soul enlightenment state there is no suffering and there is no blockage of the perception of healthy love in all directions. There is no generation of disturbed images, because the wholistic truth is seen.

Loving kindness for Washington DC, loving kindness for its morals of democracy freedom & equality. Loving kindness for the USA Government & intelligence of the American people. Loving kindness for the US Constitution
Loving kindness for the provincial governors of the united states of america . Loving kindness for the citizens of the United States of America, may they be healthy, may they be happy, may they have the wealth they need, may they procure blessings of liberty, and may their unique individuality & Soul be respected. A student in a USA public school is taught that "All beings are created equal; but unique!" Loving kindness for those who take unique paths
Loving kindness, may I enjoy a nice reincarnation in a wealthy liberal family. Loving kindness may my affairs in this present incarnation be pleasant and not traumatizing or excessively difficult, because in my past life I was kind and I refrained from violence towards humanity, animals, & plants. May I be incarnated in a unique female body. *respect for Asia*
This meditation locks on to strong negative feelings and sensations in my body ,what does this mean?. I tried another version of Loving-Kindness and it felt the same way. Somebody please answer, I'm doubting whether it's PTSD or other trauma related issue.
+Paul Purail Hi Paul, hard to tell! Meditations can bring up all sorts of emotions - some people would say it's just stress coming up or anything bottled up. It's hard to know exactly. I always recommend that people start these kinds of practices in a group with a skilled teacher to talk to about these kinds of experiences. Also, you may want to try some of the yoga-based breathing I conducted research on, it really helps with negative emotions. You can learn it through the Art of Living Foundation "Happiness" program.
Thank you for that info, I actually found out about Sudarshan Kriya earlier through your channel. I'm curious and very interested to try it. Also have a question ,I want to bring along a friend who has had an episode of Drug induced psychosis and is still on medication, would he have any bad side effects with this program.
hi.. i did research to parents using lkm.. there were some effects such as unpleasant feelings and sadness after lkm... which means there might be some people whom lkm is noy applicable.. it hasnt been researched yet... but some possible barriers are personal experiences (trauma, abuse, depression, avoidant personality, currently experiencing crisis in life) i suggest..if u feel it negatively... discontinue it for a while and resolved the conflicts u had in the.past... before starting it again... as well as evaluate how it impacts ur perception... though this meditation is safe..it may open some wounds in ur past that u dont want to remember...
Loving kindness, I would like to keep the content of my videos wholesome. Loving kindness, I like to acknowledge the miracle in rogue documentary making. Loving kindness, I think I owe great gratitude to the spirit of vision in .. videos. . Lol

This does not work when no one loved me. I had to imagine my cat on one side and me on the other. Then bringing in "everyone else" just made me feel very sad, so I stopped listening.
I felt somehow the same way. I did continue, but every time she made me imagine people who love me, it was a bit difficult and the meditative effect seemed to diminish although overall it was a calm experience.
You need this more than anybody else on this website. I am never loved by anybody and I never felt love myself too. You gotta work on to feel something , more than others. You can't get a reward if you don't do the work.
Try to think of a loving fictional character then. Or a loving spiritual being. Please give this a try again, you really really need this if you don’t have anyone in your life loving you 🙏🏽
Loving kindness, the world will only look and genuinely become more cute overtime. Nofearit! There need be no fear in your heart, you and the environment you live in will always be beautiful, loving, cute, & clean. How do I know this? I am spirit! You are cute, really!

It was ok, however I was put off by the prescriptive elements, which pulled me out of the meditative state. I think a good tweak would be, instead of saying "I wish you live in ease, with happiness and free of pain" etc, you encourage empathy by asking "What do you feel you need to say to this person, to express your gratitude to them?" - or "What would you say to make this person feel good". Also, prescriptive sentences such as "I wish you lived free of pain" may not be that useful to someone who is thinking of someone who has incurable chronic pain.

The Power of Now - My body is full of a warm gentle but comfortable sensation, no stagnation. My head feels like the third eye is truly open. But even moreso, the throat and ear chakras. *Loving kindness, as I type these words, a friend in the clouds, who had just recently attuned the five amakaya Samadhi, through dwelling in devachan, suddenly is able the harness the siddhi of telekenisis and use it to align a beneficial infinite and natural chi a little bit more conveniently in the existence of all sentient beings. This is a profound universe liberating event, life ends of becoming a lot more easier than everyone had planned for, and a lot more enjoyable. What did my friend, who wishes to remain unnamed for legal purposes of Selflessness in Monkhood, do to accrue this easier alignment and thus saving beings throughout the twelve skanadhas infinite time and preventing unneeded loss of cuteness? She just said, "Aloha." And in reality, that's all she had ever said. Loving kindness, somehow, like the Hannukah candles, it was just enough, we were all able to relax more, realizing, we were going to get through. I almost can't believe it, Chuck! The stress just slides off like butter, I can't believe it's not Buddha! We have surrendered and allowed Goddess to handle it through the natural celestial virtue of nature itself. We have accepted Goddess and in that our ability to love nourish receive and be in love with all this life. There is complete and utter enlightened. Loving kindness.
I cried during this mediation whilst thinking of my grandma who died years ago
this practice I felt quite spiritual & your voice is like an angel from heaven
aw, so glad to hear it was such a beautiful experience!
Thank you Emma! Very helpful for us beginners. Got everybody up before school and listened. Sometimes I think we all have PTSD to greater or lesser extent. It's a dog eat dog world and competition/consumption is the cornerstone of western society. News brings terror into our homes and we forget what it means to be human and part of nature, part of the whole. As a parent, it is often hard to get through, to bring peace even in our homes. I want to keep trying things like this. I am glad you are here.
A dog with the Buddha nature..
I literally had tears streaming down my face while doing this meditation. Thank you so much for putting this together. It is really appreciated.
So glad to hear it Yvette!!! :)
Lovingkindness this is heart chakra
Nothing will harm when we do this meditation, it is the realm of 'bodhisattva '
One of the best Metta meditation so far! I liked so many things about it: the voice, being circled by the love of friends and family was a beautiful feeling. But particularly with Metta I always struggle when I have to imagine to direct my love to all the beings, here with just a simple but so smart tip (no spoiler here, you have to find out by yourself ;-) it worked perfectly, thank you!
So glad to hear :) !!!
(lovingkindess; i am responding unattachedly from the zazen posture): "yes, it is kind that nature provides us some forms of love that are appropriate for any situation,
the enlightened must 'cling' to these forms, through nonattachment!" all nonkarmic energy blockages are removed DIVINEBUDDHISTPARADOX
This meditation is just Fantastic, after this you'll feel like having a Booster of energy towards all people you're going to meet. Excellent to live this❤️
This is the first time ever after meditating for years that I have wept. Picturing my daughters next to me and the way you guided me to feel their love and send them happiness was beautiful. (They are both healthy). Going to go give them a hug! My new regular meditation.
Yay!
Thank you for sharing your gift of this meditation Emma. I am fortunate to be surrounded by many loving people and I wish that all of those around me live with ease & happiness. NMRK.
Thank you very much for making these meditations available for all of us in the internet
It's only a reflection of the heart within us all
One of my favorite videos to listen to for a loving kindness meditation. Her voice is so soothing. I feel so peaceful and relaxed after meditating. Thanks for sharing!
Loving kindness for Kendra R, her face shines again with an old radiance, and her thoughts produce a halo and good fortune in her life and those around her; she meditates successfully. Flowing through life and overcoming its challenges fairly easily with wisdom, kindness lessens the intensity of tribulation for her and lengthens her relaxation and joys- a series of fortunate events.
Loving kindness for Kendra R, may she save energy by cutting off appliances when not in use, may she dress warmly in the winter so as to need slightly less heat, may she not purchase firewood. When she makes the meditative intention to be sensitive to the ecosystem of the planet, the effect it has in her life becomes exponential and turns the flow of other lives around her towards environmentalist beneficial activities also.

+cafecarmel SO glad you found it helpful! Check out my new book The Happiness Track for more on this topic:)
And we are buddhistly here wishing you well, it is a practice. Thank you for your testimony.
I love this meditation. I've sent it to others, who have used it to good success.
Thank you so much, I've searched many videos and this one is my favorite, no music, no didactic introductions, no mentions of benefits or weird tangents or superstition. Calm voice. Good recording. May you be happy, may you be well, and may you be free from suffering.

I've practiced beautiful and effective loving-kindness meditations for some time, and this one was very pleasant too. For me it helps to visualize the love as light shining from the heart center and direct it at the specific object.
Using directions where to place the people really helped, rather than just generating an abstract presence of them. Thanks for sharing this one!
You're welcome Simon, so glad you liked it :)
This is auspicious! My heart is rinse with love. Thanks for being soo kind and sharing this!!
The consciousness of divine love is the oneness not illusory separation of consciousness, kindness is reminding you that really all of it is you, the divine being! Profound yet such thoughts can liberate us from bondage
Holy moly, cried like a baby. Thank you, that was wonderful.
wefkr so glad you liked it :)
I found your meditation, 7 years ago and still the best meditation according to my experience. I like a lot the mantras for kind people sitting right or left or anywhere. Amazing effect on Me. Brava e grazie 👉👉👍
Wow... I just did this with my friend and we really enjoyed it. Very soothing voice :)
I love this meditation. Thank you.
I too imagined close people who are already dead. With correct motivation this is a powerful meditation, making it easier to practice equanimity. I am going to use this to achieve a cooperation which would ordinarily not be possible.
Thanks so much. My first meditation ever.
great place to start:)
Will share with my health psych students, Emma. This is one of the better versions of lkm that I've heard. Beautiful!
Wonderful, so glad you liked it!

Loving kindness for american patriots who might happen to live in other countries but live with a message of peaceful freedom & conversely disgust for all forms of oppression. respect for all walks of life equall. People who defend that freedom and diversity with their sincerest intention. America bows to you and you have our tai chi support.. Freedom! We have scouts who identify these patriotic souls and they get the best reception. The path of unity of all tribes is the other path that can be called superior, no exclusion. USA represents this harmony by welcoming all ... thank you earth
Good karma
Thanks for all the wonderful comments, so glad you like the meditation! For more on the science of happiness and meditation, check out my book The Happiness Track: www.emmaseppala.com/book I am giving away a free meditation album to everyone who pre-orders. It includes the loving-kindness meditation.
Loving Kindness for Emma Seppala, the angels have officially noted her merits and her spirit enjoys a more favorable reincarnation, a significant part of what improved her karma in her incarnation as Emma Seppala was literally this video on Loving Kindness which she posted onto youtube and helped many people, animals, plants, and also the entire ecosystem of the planet. Loving kindness, she will reincarnate with no enemies, in a comfortable situation, she will be surrounded by wise and happy people and partake of happiness herself, and most notably, she will enjoy many many hours of seated zazen meditation and write many thought provoking and satori inducing poems which will reach a wide variety of audiences and provide a refreshing wind of zen and natural gratitude into their lives. Just enough
Thank you for sharing Tech tMargin! Thi is one I’m definitely keeping!
This makes my body shake and gives me spasms. I don't know why.
Edit: also forgot to say thank you for the wonderful work. I enjoy your articles on psychology today, and I loved your ted talks. I'm a struggling neurodivergent psychology student and your researches give me solid hope.
Sounds like releases! Its all good 👍
Thank you, very nice meditation
A really helpful meditation Emma - thanks so much for posting this here.
+Mike Enjo You're welcome Mike:)
+Emma Seppälä You may like my new book The Happiness Track, a whole chapter on this:)

May you be happy. May you be healthy. May you be free from all pain.
Lovingkindness, lovingkindness, decency in the universe! May Deborah also be happy, healthy, and may she be liberated from suffering forever. She is beautiful and she is on easy mode today, because we are as well! Aloha :)
We've learned to relax more
Loving kindness, my I remember all the good qualities of my lucky neighbor, & forget the bad, because it is not significant. Loving kindness, may my lucky neighbor be able to feel some empathy with me, & not be harmed. The spirit of LuckyShalom acts in effective ways to prevent harm. Loving kindness that we are treating one another respectfully and not as superior or inferior, we consider one another enough to want to ensure the other similar level comforts and joys. Loving kindness, through luck we are able to provide satori (a relaxed japanese term from the zen tradition meaning "liberating insight") to one another, allowing us to transcend unchill behavior, stop wasting energy, & live more authentically lucky happy lives with Ahimsa (absence of violence). Loving kindness, my neighbor is a spiritual book, by someone like Buddha, and by living they are expressing the teachings. I often see my lucky neighbor in seated meditation, I am so thankful that this is a sage who finds empathy with me. Loving kindness, my disposition toward my neighbor is soft, my respect for my neighbor is genuine. True Love; kosher. Loving kindness for phrases that help both me and my neighbor to seem cute. We practice common sense. Loving kindness may we be depicted as we truly are. The truth is beautiful! We are reaping spiritual rewards.
Loving kindness, my neighbor is Lore
this is very helpful. thank you
Thanks for this recording, Emma. It's great for sharing with my clients.
***** sure thing!!
Loving kindness, my soul is full of energy and yet I have no labors, only play, my spirit and body is beautiful, and so is the temple and the forest connected to it.
Loving kindness, that temple is always clean and calm, I never see large groups there, if anyone at all,
Its always quiet and sacred, I am lucky to live near it, and I hope that its interfaith blessing can spread in all directions.
Loving kindness, there are no duties for me at this time, and I have no lack, everything I need I have in abundance, this is a favourable circumstance and you also find yourself in a similar predicament.
It is kind that those who came before us created such a strong infrastructure that we would not go in lack, the wisdom is good to acknowledge, so that we may find more and more of it. Loving kindness, humanity will not continue abusing the ecosystem, harmony will be improved and longevity continued, as the wisdom, small ingenius things slipped into the plan by those before us for these very reasons, becomes clear to us.
Loving kindness, may we think in the same way and now do our part to add small cute wisdoms thats will help us and those who come later on. Cute!
thanks for your help, I was stuck in my life, my spouse left me and my world collapse, but you show me a powerful tool and I really wish to thank you for that
+Enrique Javier C.R. So sorry for your loss but SO glad this meditation helped you Enrique!!
Emma Seppälä thanks a lot❤️❤️❤️
Loving kindness for the Latino peoples, may the Latino peoples prosper and have much people may they be free from addiction to drugs, and instead with their traditional beneficial wisdom of herbs. Loving kindness. May the cities of Mexico be safe, clean, and friendly places. May the wilderness of Mexico be kept sacred and not desecrated. May other heritages look kindly upon the country of Mexico, and also other Latino countries, may the spirit of virtue continue to overcome over the spirit of corrupt. Loving kindness.
Thank you 🙏❤
Loving kindness for all beings, may all beings be free from
Enmity and danger, and may they take care of themselves happily.
Loving kindness may all beings enjoy inner peace and may the planet enjoy peace.
May all beings be healthy, and happy;
May you always have the health and the wealth that you need.
May all beings enjoy the ultimate happiness, that of nirvana itself.
Loving kindness for the questions, and for the answers.
May the truthseekers continue to find truth and may the truth that they find be in actuality true kindness.
Loving kindness for me, may I be free from inner and outter danger, may I be healthy, may I always have the wealth I need, loving kindness, may I continue to improve the practice of virtues in my life.
Loving kindness, may I receive more feedback from others who I communicate with before I alienate them by talking too much.
Loving kindness, I would enjoy meeting someone secular who doesn't mind talking to me a lot, without me having to respond.
Having tested a lot of loving kindness meditations, this one which emphasis on vizualisations rather than phrases is fantastic. I am grateful that you shared this ! Also, your study speak about a 22 minutes version of this meditation, can you share this one too ?
In all cases, thanks a lot for what you do !!
Best regards, from France 😊
Very calming.
Thank you, Christine

So glad you are here on u tube. I thought I’d lost you. Such a lovely voice and this meditation an important part of my spiritual life.
So glad you found it to Helen. I made some changes to my website so now this is one of the only places you can find the meditation online however you can also find it on the SATTVA meditation app:)
Loving kindness for my cute body; may it attract the synergies it needs and may my skin complexion be clear and clean, loving kindness, may me & my family always maintain a youthful appearance and lucid speaking style, and be full of inner wisdom. Loving kindness may my aura be INDIE ROCK. Thank you
Thank you
Beautiful it was nice knowing I sent good vibes and love to people I know and don't know, the whole wide world ♥. Question when you said say it silent,the words, was that supposed to be in our heads or in a small whisper tone?
Dear Student, you have blossomed in Loving Kindness! Your meditation has progressed!
This is hard when you have one person who loves you. I picked Oprah for my second person. I’m pretty sure she loves most everybody.

Don't have anyone that loved me and don't have no one friends, this just made me really depressed. 😢
Loving kindness for my feminine girlish body, may it be healthy, may it be cute. Gratitude for its processes and its innocence and majesty. Loving kindness for my hands, they will not wrinkle from much work, loving kindness, I have it good this life, I work at the temple. Gratitude for Deity that sustains me and forms my body. Gratitude for my feminine quiet temperment and nonjudgementalness. Loving kindness for my eyes, deep beauty and clarity. Spirit of Cleanliness

Loving kindness for Arabians, may the Arabian peoples prosper and have much peace, may the morals of old Arabian folktales be followed and remembered, providing justice and prolonging the tradition of goodly magic in Arabian society, may the people have heart and righteousness, not misled into violence but rooted in the boundless love of the true mystics, Rumi, Hafiz, and many others. May the negative culture stereotypes about Arabia be dispersed by the recognition of the truly good and moral people from there. Loving kindness for Arabians who only wish to live in a peaceful place, where there are no guns or violence. Loving kindness, may the people of Israel practice more kindness towards their Arabian neighbors, may the spirit of the true faith inspire many gifts and friendships, rather than animosity. Loving kindness, may the news focus on the heroes on both sides, expressing mature and unbending love rather than conflict and through this appropriate focus may that love grow and grow, for harmony that is lasting. Loving kindness for the music of the Arabian culture, and also its unique aura and wisdom, may the world see through the many illusions that bury this culture in obscurity and be able to remember and exalt its true gifts. Thank you. Ahimsa.
Dr. Seppala, thank you for posting this meditation on RUclips. The link on the Berkeley website is not working. I am going through DBT Training through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs healthcare system and we are on the Mindfulness Handout 8: Practicing Loving Kindness to Increase Love and Compassion. I was looking for a guided meditation and found this one after a little bit of digging. It was great to find a meditation from a reputable source with a voice that is conducive to meditation. I hope that you have a beautiful day and I wish you continued success.
Thank you so much for this wonderful message. I hope you will help many veterans, our work studying breathing (Skybreath meditation in particular) with veterans has been very near and dear to my heart.
You're welcome.
Thank you for replying to my message.
I am sorry for the confusion. I am a veteran in the class. However, I do intend to help my brothers and sisters in arms by sharing this video with them.

Loving kindness for Hasidic Jews in Maryland! May we prosper may we be openminded & may we be remembered for our strong environmentalist values & encouragement of questioning all. Loving kindness, may our weekly prayers make the bread of the community always leaven, may our spiritual centers be open to all, and may we see God as alive in the divine names & traditions of all cultures not just our own. Loving kindness for jewish lawyers, may your effect on local law be for the benefit of ALL not just one group. *a jewish lawyer vs. construction companies preventing construction & urbanization in our diverse State.* MONTGOMERY COUNTY AND OTHERS. "if we respect ourselves we will not build but focus on getting the most enjoyable & needed businesses into rentable office space & commercial buildings already available (we currently have too many food stores, not enough bookstores, diversion such as minigolfs, arcades (Dave & Busters), not enough punk rock houses)"
Great meditation, but what about people who struggle to evoke loving feelings even towards close relatives or pets? For instance, I certainly experience a sort of "cognitive empathy" for my parents and my pets and usually show altruistic behavior towards them, but I don't quite feel deep loving feelings while doing so. Is there any workaround or alternative approach for people in this condition in order to ignite and amplify the feeling of loving kindness?
That's totally fine:) It should have the same benefits!
Wellbeing Seeker just keep saying the statements. A famous teacher of LK meditation (Sharon Salzberg?) said it took her weeks to feel much, but she still said The statements. Eventually it sparked and her heart flowered beautiful. Now she’s one of the worlds foremost LK advocates. The statements build the pathways in your brain that eventually evoke the feelings and the behaviors, so just keep saying them.
What about ppl we don't like, or have anger, etc towards? Can we picture them in place of the acquaintance(s)? (I tried it tonight). Love this meditation, thank you. 4/21/16
+requinremembers yes of course, that's the advanced version:)
Loving kindness for the unbound heart that loves all without discrimination, every day I love a little more

Dear Emma, I cried during the meditation, especially when thinking about the closest people to me. Is there any explanation to it?
Renata Galieva Research on crying is still forthcoming, but tears can often come in moments of intense love. Those are beautiful tears:)
Your heart's opening. That's a good thing :-)
Loving kindness for my teeth
I have been brushing more often, I see improvement (loving kindness)
and I will like to keep up the practice. This is throat chakra
Loving kindness, I have actually seen improvement in my dental health. I am very thankful
that I set this intention out to the universe, thought has manifesting power, the results were surprisingly effective.
Loving-kindness, the teeth in my mouth have remained clean & innocent, without requiring an extreme amount of diligence, just small morning and night care, I am at this time able to refer to a clean mouth as one of my best qualities. Before such a good energy could fade after accumulating so long, I had time to appreciate the cleanliness of my teeth and mouth as a center of health in interconnection with the health of all parts of my body and in the big picture, all parts of the world! I find less need to say words describing bad things and so do those around me. LovingKindness is an aura crystal from which I am aligning the manifesting principle to result such that only good things come out of my mouth and may only good things enter my mouth
More often that which is said is what must be said for good, this is worth thanks, in other words less waste. So I am grateful for the meditation on my teeth.
Lovingkindness for Emma Seppälä
May her bodily health and form improve in some subtle yet good way that would not have occurred if she was practicing rigid "mindfulness" instead by not shunning awareness by any means yet approaching it more from a perspective of being aware with an open heart that therefore sometimes relaxes and can be less perceptive at times. Loving kindness for the good things that can happen when we don't analyze everything back to an exact atom in the lab but instead simply allow the mystery while being present with things in a more soul conscious way within the world.
Loving kindness, for example though those who arrive at this video (therefore experiencing a similar blessing as Emma does) do so from many locations around the world (and with privacy, loving kindness) we do not know eachother specifically and yet the presence of the conscious energy turned to compassion is never the less real for us and inspiring to experience and realise we have ability to feel it any time.
May the buddhi of compassion divert misfortune occurrences and increase our wisdom. Thank you for being one place where such a buddhi arose, Emma, and although
I see Emma's heart in an even better health that it was when this meditation began, she is in the posture of bodhisattva, helping innumerable beings without concepts, and yet they are led and secured into final nirvana.
What this means is that the healed heart creates a wavefield dissolving blockages of health in the surroundings, liberating from perception and relationship to life as bondage.
Consciousness is arriving at this meditation and being told that it can let go, that it is a new plateau for the heart that is ready to manifest, therefore loving kindness for this seed of meditation planted by Emma Seppälä
It is karmic
In the soul enlightenment state there is no suffering and there is no blockage of the perception of healthy love in all directions.
There is no generation of disturbed images, because the wholistic truth is seen.

THANK YOU!!! =)
This meditation locks on to strong negative feelings and sensations in my body ,what does this mean?. I tried another version of Loving-Kindness and it felt the same way. Somebody please answer, I'm doubting whether it's PTSD or other trauma related issue.
+Paul Purail Hi Paul, hard to tell! Meditations can bring up all sorts of emotions - some people would say it's just stress coming up or anything bottled up. It's hard to know exactly. I always recommend that people start these kinds of practices in a group with a skilled teacher to talk to about these kinds of experiences. Also, you may want to try some of the yoga-based breathing I conducted research on, it really helps with negative emotions. You can learn it through the Art of Living Foundation "Happiness" program.
Thank you for that info, I actually found out about Sudarshan Kriya earlier through your channel. I'm curious and very interested to try it. Also have a question ,I want to bring along a friend who has had an episode of Drug induced psychosis and is still on medication, would he have any bad side effects with this program.
+Paul Purail Dear Paul, I really can't say about your friend. He would have to ask the instructor.
Emma Seppälä Ok, thanks for the replies.
hi.. i did research to parents using lkm.. there were some effects such as unpleasant feelings and sadness after lkm... which means there might be some people whom lkm is noy applicable.. it hasnt been researched yet... but some possible barriers are personal experiences (trauma, abuse, depression, avoidant personality, currently experiencing crisis in life) i suggest..if u feel it negatively... discontinue it for a while and resolved the conflicts u had in the.past... before starting it again... as well as evaluate how it impacts ur perception... though this meditation is safe..it may open some wounds in ur past that u dont want to remember...
I stopped at 0:59. Well time to get back to living alone :)

This does not work when no one loved me. I had to imagine my cat on one side and me on the other. Then bringing in "everyone else" just made me feel very sad, so I stopped listening.
I felt somehow the same way. I did continue, but every time she made me imagine people who love me, it was a bit difficult and the meditative effect seemed to diminish although overall it was a calm experience.
You need this more than anybody else on this website. I am never loved by anybody and I never felt love myself too. You gotta work on to feel something , more than others. You can't get a reward if you don't do the work.
I'm with you. This was just depressing.
Try to think of a loving fictional character then. Or a loving spiritual being. Please give this a try again, you really really need this if you don’t have anyone in your life loving you 🙏🏽

It was ok, however I was put off by the prescriptive elements, which pulled me out of the meditative state. I think a good tweak would be, instead of saying "I wish you live in ease, with happiness and free of pain" etc, you encourage empathy by asking "What do you feel you need to say to this person, to express your gratitude to them?" - or "What would you say to make this person feel good". Also, prescriptive sentences such as "I wish you lived free of pain" may not be that useful to someone who is thinking of someone who has incurable chronic pain.

Loving kindness for Hillary Clinton
The Power of Now - My body is full of a warm gentle but comfortable sensation, no stagnation. My head feels like the third eye is truly open.
But even moreso, the throat and ear chakras.
*Loving kindness, as I type these words, a friend in the clouds, who had just recently attuned the five amakaya Samadhi, through dwelling in devachan, suddenly is able the harness the siddhi of telekenisis and use it to align a beneficial infinite and natural chi a little bit more conveniently in the existence of all sentient beings.
This is a profound universe liberating event, life ends of becoming a lot more easier than everyone had planned for, and a lot more enjoyable.
What did my friend, who wishes to remain unnamed for legal purposes of Selflessness in Monkhood, do to accrue this easier alignment and thus saving beings throughout the twelve skanadhas infinite time and preventing unneeded loss of cuteness?
She just said, "Aloha."
And in reality, that's all she had ever said.
Loving kindness, somehow, like the Hannukah candles, it was just enough, we were all able to relax more, realizing, we were going to get through.
I almost can't believe it, Chuck! The stress just slides off like butter, I can't believe it's not Buddha!
We have surrendered and allowed Goddess to handle it through the natural celestial virtue of nature itself. We have accepted Goddess and in that our ability to love nourish receive and be in love with all this life.
There is complete and utter enlightened. Loving kindness.
