29 : Meditation - Compassion for India (A Loving Kindness Practice)

Welcome to the Mindful FIRE Podcast, where we explore living mindfully on the path to financial independence and beyond. 

On today's guided meditation we practice sending compassion and loving kindness to the people of India who are suffering terribly under the overwhelming 4th wave of COVID-19. This practice of sending them well wishes nourishes your own heart and combats a feeling of helplessness.

It may not immediately solve the issue but it orients your mind towards compassion, towards helping those who are suffering. That is powerful

In this practice we first settle our mind and body. After some time we transition to cultivating compassion through the practice of loving kindness (metta). We expand our circle of care, starting with ourselves, out until we include all the people suffering in India and ultimately all people, everywhere. 

I hope you find this supportive during these difficult times.
