Metta Meditation

Groups audience: 

Hello burner community!

A friend of mine recommended that I do metta meditation. I'm unfamiliar
with it. I was wondering if anyone has experience with it and knows of a
good place for me to go. I would also like to ask some questions about it
if anyone is willing to chat with me.

Does metta meditation have anything to do with hugging?

Metta Mediation is great. Another name for it is Loving-kindness mediation.

I think a good place to start is "Mindfulness in Plain English". It's sort
of an instruction manual for how to effectively meditatie and has some
chapters that focus specifically on metta/loving-kindness. The beginning
can come off as a little pedantic, but beyond that it's great.

Even better, you can download it for free on the internet!
