One of the most surprising benefits of meditation is discovering how much more confident you begin to feel. Each time you sit down to meditate, you honor yourself. Honoring yourself consistently empowers you to feel as though your special qualities are worth sharing with others and the world. I think most people agree that the world needs more loving-kindness. This week, take part in the ancient tradition of Ahimsa, or non-violence, from Pantanjali's Yoga Sutras. Discover how harmful thoughts are considered to be as violent as physical violence. This is part of a collection of meditation series focused on sending more peace and love into the world. You'll release negative thoughts and cultivate a calmer, kinder approach to the problems in the world today. Join us in part 6 of this week's Loving-Kindness series. You'll be guided to release negative, harmful thoughts and replace your thoughts with loving-kindness. This is part 6 of a 7-part Loving-Kindness meditation series episodes 2096-2102.
