The Heart's Awakening: Developing Kindness in Meditation and Daily Life

Bodhipaksa has been practicing lovingkindness (metta) meditation since the early 1980's, and has been teaching it for 35 years. Whether you're a relative beginner or a long-standing practitioner, this 27-session course, which is delivered by email, offers abundant resources for enriching your practice.

The emails are not delivered on a daily schedule—which can often become overwhelming—but arrive at a pace you control. In each email there is a trigger button. When you're ready to move on—and only then—click the button and the next email will reach you the following day. No more stress because of course emails piling up in your in box!

Each email contains readings and a guided meditation. Most of the meditations range are between 10 and 20 minutes in length.

You'll learn how to cultivae greater empathy for yourself and others. You'll learn how to settle into a natural state of kindness, you'll learn how to tell whether you're being "nice" as opposed to kind. You'll learn how to bring kindness into your daily life.

People in the Wildmind Community who have taken this course have found it very helpful. The approaches Bodhipaksa takes help make this sometimes hallenging practice much less frustrating and more accessible.
