Mindful Littles Loving-Kindness Practices

Lisa SadikmanJuly 16, 2021

Research shows when we consciously send compassion and warmth to others through loving-kindness meditation, we feel more connected to people we love, friends, family, neighbors and even strangers! Feeling connected builds our capacity for kindness and compassion, decreases our bias towards others and increases our own well-being. Try one of our loving- kindness practices and notice what happens.

Kind Wishes for the World

In this audio meditation designed with kids in mind, you’ll think about someone to send a kind wish to — maybe someone who’s having a difficult time. Together we will send three kind wishes to that someone!

This was an invaluable workshop, really well done, and we so appreciate what you all do!”
