Metta to Self, Metta to All with JoAnna Hardy - BHNN Guest Podcast Ep. 139

JoAnna Hardy gives us perspective on the origins of metta and guides us through a gentle meditation to cultivate loving kindness for ourselves and all beings.

This talk was originally shared by Dharma Seed at a 2018 Spirit Rock retreat.

In this offering from a 2018 Spirit Rock retreat, JoAnna gently guides us through a metta meditation, softly exploring:
- Clearing the hindrances of our being through mindfulness practice and allowing our natural state of metta to emerge
- The origins of metta
- Metta as the antidote to fear, aversion, and hatred
- The undefended heart and the undefended mind
- How we feel about wishing for the wellbeing of ourselves and of beings who: are easy to love, we feel neutral towards, we have a light agitation towards, feels like a difficult person to love

“One of my favorite teachings around this idea of metta, or loving kindness, care, friendliness, benevolence, is that naturally from a mind and heart that are at ease, this quality comes alive. So we don't actually have to do anything to make it happen.” - JoAnna Hardy
