• Sasha frames loving-kindness as intimacy with emotions. You can steer toward good emotions like focusing on liking or love. It also includes being okay sitting with difficult emotions when they show up. A therapist or support system may help.
• The practice can be taking one person you like and thinking about them. It is basically focusing on the feeling of liking. It can be any type of liking, even liking a view, or something corny toward something.
• It is like going to the gym. Everybody can achieve loving-kindness with enough reps and consistency.
• The effect is like a glow. You are accepting and loving almost anybody, even dictators. You might have a permanent blissful look on the face.
• It is a good introduction to jhana.
