Sit comfortably. Place your palms on the center of your chest.
Close your eyes. Take a few moments to feel your natural breathing and the feeling of your hands on your body.
Then say each of these expressions of loving-kindness toward
yourself:
May I be happy.
May I be healthy.
May I be safe.
May I live with ease.
After you recite each of these, notice what comes up in your mind.
Whatever you notice is fine and interesting. This is another way of
getting familiar with yourself, but it doesn’t mean every thought is
true. If you get way off-track, repeat the phrase.
After noticing what comes up, take a big breath in, and as you
exhale, let go of that phrase. Go on to the next one.
