Episode Synopsis

Mindset is everything. Yet, for most of us, a protective mindset dominates and keeps us from becoming the fullest expression of who we are. While that protective mindset has value - it can help keep us safe and help us learn how to create our own safety - it can also undermine happiness and interfere with our ability to manifest. 
A simple practice to quickly shift away from an over-protective mindset is Maitri or loving-kindness Meditation. 
Maitri is a Sanskrit word that means benevolence, loving-kindness, goodwill, an active interest in the well-being of others. Maitri (Metta) meditation is the 1st of the 4 sublime states of being in Tibetian tantric yoga. 
In this episode we do this Metta meditation together: 

May I be happy;
May I be healthy; 
May my heart be open; 
and may I stand in the light of my own true self. 

This is a modification of a Metta meditation that I learned from my beloved mentor and friend, Stephen Cope (Kavi). May it help you open your heart, find happy well-being, and anchor yourself within. 
Namaste
