Loving Kindness Meditation

On Tuesday, June 21, 2022 University of Pennsylvania’s Memory Center hosted an event on Loving Kindness Meditation. It was peace provoking and provided the space to experience love and kindness within my own being. In this day and age when self criticism seems to be very prevalent, it is good to take a moment and share kind words with yourself to maintain balance.

I share resources from that presentation and my Yoga Teacher Training below.

Try this exercise to create more positive space for yourself.
