Spiritual Warriors and Loving Kindness with Dr. Melissa West
Join Melissa for her first "solo" flight on Returning to the Body Mind as she discusses the way of the spiritual warrior and loving kindness meditation. Yoga is a tradition that reveres non-violence and thus the idea of the warrior as a cornerstone of the standing postures may be confusing. Melissa starts the show by unpacking this loaded term and lighting the way for the spiritual warrior. Loving Kindness Meditation or Metta Meditation as taught by the Buddhists is a powerful tool for increasing the love in your own heart which can then move in ever expanding circles out into the world. Melissa begins by "unpacking" each of the lines of metta meditation and then invites you to join in a loving kindness practice.
