    Guided Meditation - Bathing in Benevolence, Spreading Goodwill
    Jan 17 2026

    Before easing us into practice, Ven Candā discusses loving-kindness (mettā) as a directed thought process—it’s a skill we can develop, and the feeling of mettā naturally grows over time. Wishing well-being for ourselves is foundational to loving-kindness, so this meditation focuses on aligning our best intentions with cultivating mettā for ourselves.
