Loving Kindness : You Can Love Difficult People — But Start Easy

In this week’s Saturday meditation, we build on the Wednesday prompt to wish health / happiness / safety / ease to someone whom we find it easy to love and shift our attention to someone more difficult. If you’re new to this type of meditation, then I’d encourage you to start “medium” with someone you don’t really know. Maybe someone you run into at work or somebody you’ve seen on TV for whom you don’t care. Call that person to mind. Really try to conjure them. And then repeat whatever lovingkindness phrases feel right to you. I am borrowing from the great @SharonSalzbergVideo but you can find phrases more meaningful to you if you wish.
