A Simple Meditation for World Peace

Restore hope and comfort to tired bodies and frazzled minds…

To support our desire, to live in a more peaceful world, and cultivate harmonious, loving relationships with people different from us — here is a simple loving-kindness meditation.

I offer the short meditation to remind us to stay hopeful, generous and positive — even in the middle of global divide, a pandemic, and social and racial injustices at home and overseas.

In her story, What is Loving-Kindness -and how to practice it in an era of intolerance, Mindfulness teacher, Sharon Salzberg gives a detailed overview of the power of Loving-kindness meditation.

Let’s start.

First, I invite you to take a moment, to press pause, settle into your body and exhale.

When you feel ready, say the loving-kindness meditation script softly to yourself.

Allow the words to enter your heart space.

Be intentional with your thoughts. Use the practice to re-affirm your commitment to being a beacon of hope, encouragement and inspiration to yourself and others.

Simple Loving-Kindness Meditation for a More Peaceful World

“May we have patience to see life through the eyes of divinity and speak kind words to each other.

May we listen to one another with humility, with an open heart and a curious mind.

May we always remember the passage of time and those gone before as we work together to (re)create a sustainable world our children’s children will be proud to walk upon.

My prayer is that as we heal, we continue to shine our light, remain courageous and be the change our world needs. Thank you.
