Loving Kindness Meditation

Описание: Loving kindness meditation was created for difficult times — not peaceful ones.

In this session, Leah D’Ambrosio shares the 2,500-year-old origins of loving kindness and why it still matters when life feels heavy.

Led by Leah D’Ambrosio, Co-Founder of the Shelter Animal Reiki Association.

Loving kindness meditation is often described as gentle — but that’s not how it began.

In this talk, Leah D’Ambrosio, Co-Founder of the Shelter Animal Reiki Association, explains where loving kindness meditation actually comes from and why it was originally taught as mental training for fear, anger, and hostility.

This practice wasn’t designed to change the world around us. It was designed to change what the world can hook into inside us — especially during stressful or uncertain times.

In this session, you’ll hear about:
The true origin story of loving kindness meditation and why it’s over 2,500 years old
Why loving kindness was created for difficult conditions, not calm ones
How this practice helps release anger without forcing forgiveness
What it means to stay steady when the environment doesn’t feel steady
Why calm, grounded presence matters so much when working with animals
A guided loving kindness meditation you can return to when things feel overwhelming

Whether you’re an animal lover feeling worn down, new to meditation, or a long-time Reiki practitioner, this session offers a grounded way to reconnect with steadiness — for yourself and for the animals you care about.
