Metta is the meditation practice that the world desparately needs. It is most commonly known as loving kindness meditation (in the buddhist tradition). Through the practice of metta we develop the capacity to have compassion for ourselves and others.

Every month Core Health & Wellness hosts a free metta mediation on Sunday afternoon from 11-12, followed by a pot luck lunch. Come meditate and meet other likeminded souls. Claim your space by "buying" a free ticket.

Metta meditation tends to increase the frequency of positive emotions, life satisfaction and compassionate pro-social behaviour. Research on this specific type of mindfulness meditation is still fairly sparse, but based on what we know so far this method should be helpful for people with depression, anxiety, eating disorders, addictions, and any conditions associated with self-criticism, shame or unworthiness (Schuman-Olivier et al. ,2020; Zhang et al., 2021; Shapero et al., 2018; Cresswell et al., 2019).

To be honest we could all do with a bit more self love.

TW: The practice involves the visualisation of giving and receiving loving attention. This can be quite triggering for people who don't currently or haven't experienced many positive relationships. If you are concerned reading this paragraph please get in touch with Dave from Core Health & Wellness to discuss options before coming to class.
