Improve Your Relationships With Loving-Kindness Meditation

See what it's for, when to use it, and what you'll get with this prompt.

What it does

When resentment, irritation, or emotional distance accumulate in relationships, the tendency is to focus on what the other person does wrong. Loving-kindness meditation reverses this pattern: by intentionally cultivating feelings of compassion and kindness, you change how you relate to people. This prompt guides meditation sessions focused on cultivating kindness and compassion, first with yourself and then expanding to close and difficult people. Use it when your relationships need renewal, when you feel accumulated resentment, or when you want a practice that improves your relationship with yourself and others.
