This loving kindness or Metta meditation is for when you find yourself stuck in frustrated problem solving and can’t move through.
You were taught to solve. Maybe you were taught you could solve it.
But the energy underneath the problem should not be solved it should be accepted.
This meditation may involve strong emotions and asks us to find compassion for ourselves and those we may have difficulties with. Only listen when safe to do so.
