Loving-Kindness Meditation

​In times of anxiety (or anytime) it can be helpful to focus one's attention on things that are going well. The brain can't do both "anxious" and "joyful" simultaneously, so with a little awareness, you can nudge your thoughts toward the latter.

Loving-kindness is a traditional and  very soothing practice. The original name for it -- ​‘Metta’ -- is a Pali word for benevolence, friendship, affection, and kindness. It's a smart way to shift gears when you feel stuck.
