Loving Kindness Meditation

I posted this sometime early last year. While doing my "self work", I remembered it.

I want to share it with my friends here. It was written by my therapist who has since passed from cancer.

Loving Kindness Meditation

May I be well and may I be happy.
May I be free from the need to suffer.
May I be present to life as it unfolds moment to moment.
May I be accepting.
May I be healthy.
May I prosper in all ways, always.
May I love and may I be loved.
May I experience all that life has to offer,
the bitter as well as the sweet.
May I be patient and kind.
May I be merciful and compassionate.
May I be present to life as it unfolds, moment to moment.
May I be centered in the awareness of each moment.
May I be free from the need to control outcome.
May I trust.
May I be balanced.
May I be resilient and flexible.
May I be open and aware.
May I be safe.
May I accept each moment as it is.
May I be free to be the me I came into this world to be.

To be read first for self, then for a loved one, and then for one for whom we have ill feelings.
