3-Minute Loving-Kindness Mindfulness Meditation
Find yourself a space where you won't be interrupted for a couple of minutes, sit comfortably, put your hands on the center of your chest and close your eyes.
- For one minute, repeat softly or in your mind the sentence "May I be happy, may I be well, may I be filled with kindness and peace."
- Think of someone you know and like, and for one minute, repeat the sentence "May <<name of the person>> be happy, may <<name of the person>> be well, may <<name of the person>> be filled with kindness and peace."
- For one minute, repeat softly or in your mind, the sentence "May all people be happy, may all people be well, may all people be filled with kindness and peace."
And when you're ready, open your eyes, smile, and go on with your day with your heart open.
We like to use this 3-minute Loving Kindness meditation a couple of times a day, or when we're before (or after) a difficult conversation, and as a completion to our normal meditation (last 3 minutes)...

Great meditation! Many thx for sharing XXX
How powerful the mind is! One minute I am busy with completing my administrative task, the next my heart is open and connected to everyone in kindness and peace.
A major shift available at any time.
Great exercise for closing my day in gratitude. Thank you.

Thanks Roland for this valuable insight. Yes, this tool allows us to focus ?♂️ n our heart instead of our mind
I’m having a tough conversation coming up with my dad coming Saturday.
I started yesterday with this quick meditation wishing him all the best- and I can feel myself soften towards him- where I was afraid of this conversation and in defense to not get hurt, I’m opening up and feel how much I love him.
This tool came just at the right time. Thank you.
Thanks Gerdy for this valuable input.
As you wrote, it’s a fantastic tool to use before any difficult situations as it focuses on what connects us and not on our differences
Wonderful practice! I took deeper breaths and it made me more peaceful and at ease. Amazing how just three minutes can shift your state of being. Thank you!
Dearest Eva, so great to read your wonderful contribution.
Thank you 🙂
I did this meditation before, It always makes me feel so grateful. I also learned it with s slightly ‘bigger’ last sentence: “may all the beings, in all the worlds be happy, well, kind and at peace
That’s a lovely addition Annemarie. Thanks for this wonderful addition
It makes me smile inwardly, gives me peace and my body feels more at ease
