Stoic Loving-Kindness Meditation For Compassion And Service
About this episode
Loving-kindness is usually associated with Buddhism, but the Stoics also believed we are made for each other. This guided meditation moves through three forms of compassion: care for one person, care for humanity, and the willingness to be useful. It is a quiet, sit-down practice. You will bring people to mind, notice the resistance that appears, and practise widening the circle without forcing a particular feeling. Use it when irritation has made your world feel small, or when you want to meet other people with a little more patience.
