The technique of metta meditation involves reciting positive phrases toward yourself and other beings. This is a traditional Buddhist practice that has been practiced for thousands of years and has scientifically shown to activate the areas of our brain associated with love and compassion. There are many versions, however they all share the common aspiration of cultivating unconditional positive emotions toward all beings and strengthens connections. After you recite kind phrases toward yourself, you extend that kindness to other people. This allows you to display compassion and empathy towards all.
