Are you ready to put into practice the loving-kindness techniques you've explored throughout this week's series? I encourage you to take your meditation ritual outside today. If that's not possible, no worries. But if you could do a walking meditation outside, you can practice grounding yourself with loving-kindness, even when triggered by stress -- maybe the loud muffler of a car roaring by -- you'll be sending that driver loving-kindness instead of glares. 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 7 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 7 of a 7-part Loving-Kindness meditation series episodes 2096-2102.
