英文原文
Metta meditation, also known as loving-kindness meditation, is a practice rooted in Buddhist traditions that focuses on cultivating unconditional love and compassion towards oneself and others. In midlife, individuals often face emotional wounds from past experiences, such as relationship issues, career setbacks, or personal losses. Research shows that regular practice of metta meditation can help heal these wounds by reducing stress, enhancing emotional resilience, and fostering a sense of inner peace. Studies indicate that participants who engage in metta meditation report lower levels of anxiety and depression, improved relationships, and greater overall well-being. This meditation involves silently repeating phrases like "May I be happy, may I be safe, may I be healthy, may I live with ease," and extending these wishes to others. It is a simple yet powerful tool for emotional healing, accessible to people of all backgrounds.
