A Metta Circle

Question: I’m helping to run a meditation group. Are there any ways to help create spiritual friendship within the group?

Answer: You can try this… Get the group to practise metta (loving-kindness) meditation together, to radiate metta to one another and beyond to all beings, and organise a gathering or outing just after that. It helps to bond as they are likelier to be in a mood with more loving-kindness. It can be as simple as getting them to sit in a circle to practise metta, before asking each to share on how they felt about the practice. A circle of metta!
