A systematic approach to cultivating positive emotion that is always present, even if subtle. This meditation guides the practitioner to build and sustain positive regard for oneself, as a basis for giving and receiving loving kindness from others.

This guided meditation actively trains the ability to identify restful sensory experiences in the body, allowing practitioners to find ease not only during formal practice, but eventually at any time during daily life.
