Beginning Metta Instructions-TWIM (Tranquil Wisdom Insight Meditation)

Beginning Instructions for the Tranquil Wisdom Insight Meditation using Metta or Lovingkindness: Instructions as follows:

Sit in a chair or on the floor, whichever is comfortable. Sit for 30 minutes minimum-don't move at all. Bring up a happy memory of lovingkindness- Holding baby, pets etc. Radiate that feeling to yourself for 10 Minutes. Pick a spiritual friend and put them in your heart and radiate that feeling to them for balance of sitting. When the mind wanders use the 6Rs. RECOGNIZE the mind has gone away. RELEASE thinking about the distraction. RELAX and tension or tightness left. RE-SMILE put that smile back on your lips and in your mind. RETURN to your self or your Friend and REPEAT: Continue on and use 6Rs if distracted.
