[serene music] – Hi and welcome. My name's Manoj. I'm a meditation teacher
and co-founder of Open, and welcome to today's
meditation practice. What we're actually gonna do is we're trying to generate
feelings of kindness, acceptance, warmth, and
tenderness for ourself. And this is a very ancient practice. It's a 2,500 year old practice, often referred to as metta meditation. So I'll invite you to settle
into a comfortable position. You can lay down if you wish, if that's most comfortable for you, you can even do this standing
up if that feels good, but I love to do this seated. And as you sit, you may
wish to length in your spine so it's upright and alert
without being rigid or forced. You can place both your palms
down on top of your thighs or you can place them
on top of each other. And when you're ready, let's take a deep breath in
together in through the nose out through the mouth,
breathing in deeply. [Manoj inhales] And then as you open your
mouth, relax your shoulders. [Manoj exhales] You can begin to just settle
into your meditation today. You don't have to control your breathing, you don't have to force
your mind to be quiet. Just take a moment as you
settle into your practice, to just notice that you have a body. This awareness of our body can allow us to feel more present with it. Notice any sounds that are around you. You don't have to wonder what
they are or why they're here, just notice that sounds come and go. Then begin to notice your heart and take a moment to remember
that you have a heart, and that heart is breathing and that heart is feeling. As you keep your awareness here, I'm going to invite you
to begin to visualize an image of yourself. You can visualize yourself
as you are right now, or if it's helpful, you can
visualize yourself as a child. As you visualize yourself, mentally repeat these phrases. May I be happy? And as you repeat that
phrase in your mind, see if you can bring to mind
a time when you were happy. It's not important who was
there or what happened, but really recollect the
feeling of being happy. And then mentally keep
repeating that phrase. May I be happy? And then repeat the phrase, may I be safe? And as you mentally repeat this phrase, remember a time when you felt safe. And again, the occasion or the
people that were around you aren't as important as
the feeling of safety. May I be safe? As you repeat this phrase, notice how it feels in your body. The intention. Creating the feeling. And offer yourself the
phrase, may I be healthy? And this is your heartfelt wish to be healthy in the mind
and healthy in the body. And you can bring to mind a
time when you felt that way. And then repeat the phrase,
may I live with ease? And remember a time when
you lived with ease. Notice how this feels in your body. As you systematically and
mentally repeat these phrases, notice what is being felt in your body. And often this feeling that we
are feeling is called metta. Love and kindness. It's an acceptance,
it's a warmheartedness, and it's a tenderness for ourselves. See if you can sink into that feeling just for a few more moments. And when you're ready, you
can let go of this technique and just notice how your body feels. And perhaps make an intention to take with you into
the rest of your day, the same quality of metta, of
love and kindness for ourself. When you're ready, you can very gently
begin to open your eyes. Thank you for joining me today. I'll see you again next time.

Wonderful, I have feeling well after to do this meditation, thanks and goodness ❤
Very well executed video.
I tried today but I'm my mind is distracted and felt angry and pissed off
Thank you 🙏🏻💚
This content is very high quality.
And want if you've never been healthy, never felt safe or at ease…
This is the third meditation now that I've tried that all rely on going back to some place in your past to gain a sense of security or joy.
What if none is to be found there?
All these practices have done for me is reminded me how troubled and filled with pain my life has been.
You are amazing manoj i bless you this meditation made me know i have a heart
Thank you 😊
This video is a masterpiece.
I sat down, turned on my red light and then ten minutes was up in two seconds. Commercial is an absolutely loathsome way to end that session though. Thank you!!
I absolutely loved the way i felt in the end of the session, i felt something in my chest. It was beautiful. Your voice is very calming thank you
ارجو ترجمة كلامي والاجابه
فيديو رائع جداً
بارك الله فيك
ولكن لدي سؤال
عندما اخذي نفس عميقا يتسبب في كثرة اللعاب في فمي مما اضطر بين الاونه والاخرى الى بلعه وهذا الشيء يشتت انتباهي ماذا افعل؟؟
تحياتــــــــــــــي
Very detailed and informative.
Restarted this again as life wasn't going so well.Will make this a routine.
I feel like I'm the only one who couldn't picture myself as a kid. The image was just blurred and entirely washed out, only fragments of a young person but not me
This just made me realise how long it's been since I felt happy, safe and healthy, and how much I actually miss that
This channel deserves more views.
Such an easy to follow video.
I think I’ve watched this three times now.
The examples were very helpful.
Not enterrupted by ads – highly recommend!!!
Love the enthusiasm.
