Through the practice of metta, youfree yourself from habitually responding to negativity with a knee-jerk reaction of condemning the offending person. As you offer the disliked person a profound-- even if unmerited-- blessing of
healing, you work to transform the root of negativity itself.
Finally, before you conclude your metta meditation practice, bring to mind an image of the human race as a whole. You may want to
imagine the earth spinning in space. Consider the complexity of billions of interactions linking our human family as one. Direct your loving-kindness blessing to all.
May you be happy.
May you be healthy.
May you be at peace with whatever you’re given.
At first, offering the metta blessings to countless individuals can seem daunting. How to extending goodwill so far and wide? Trust
your own power of creative imagination and heartfelt knowing.
Remember you are practicing metta, not needing to perfect it. Even your intention of wishing goodwill towards all transforms your
sense of connectedness, positivity, and love.
May an expanding vision-- and deepening experience-- of loving-kindness enrich your Thanksgiving Day. May the practice of metta
enrich every day of your life.
