Loving-Kindness or Metta Meditation is a practice derived from the Buddhist tradition of sending loving-kindness to yourself and others that has many proven health benefits. It is the first of the four brahmavihara, or “divine abodes,” the four qualities of the open heart, as it is the expression of a basic warmth, good will and kindness.
