Thai “metta” meditation operates along the lines of positive self-suggestions. In practicing this technique there is no need to force your feelings, which can make you self-conscious. Think of this meditation as a concentration exercise instead, and simply repeat the words over and over again. It is without trying that truly amazing things can happen.

Metta in action is turning negativity into positivity. Learn how, here:

Metta Meditation
May I abide in well-being,
in freedom from hostility,
in freedom from ill-will,
in freedom from anxiety,
and may I maintain well-being in myself.
May I be released from all suffering,
and may I not be parted from the good fortune I have attained.
