Podcasts about loving kindness

Worship Leader Taylor Cummings reads Psalm 85, asking God to revive His people with mercy, salvation, and peace. He prays that we would be the generation who seeks God's face, echoing Psalm 24.

The Four Great Refuges in Buddha's Teachings are Loving-Kindness (Metta), Compassion (Karuna), Joy in others happiness (Mudita), and Equanimity (Upekha).Loving-Kindness (Metta) is one the great abode Buddhists practice, take refuge under. The practice of loving-kindness requires a clear understanding in order to have true penetration. Otherwise loving-kindness cannot truly happens.

Whatever situations we may face that shake us, always remember God's loving kindness

Take 10 minutes to settle in for a gentle, guided meditation on self‑compassion. We're often our own toughest critics, moving from task to task without a moment of care for ourselves. In this short practice, you'll pause, breathe, and offer yourself the same kindness you'd give a close friend. Join me to soften self‑judgment, reconnect with your inner calm, and leave feeling a little lighter and more supported.

We all have an understanding of intuition, but how do we really know when it is present in us? In this podcast, Bhante Sathi explores the nature of intuition and how it arises from our interpretation of sensory experiences, often shaped by underlying emotions. He emphasizes the importance of mindfulness in distinguishing true intuitive insight from emotional reactions like fear or desire. By cultivating clarity through practices such as loving-kindness, we can better understand our internal signals and make wiser, more grounded decisions!

Cohosts teZa and Carter Lord discuss how important it is to open our minds and hearts to others, especially those who hold differing opinions. Being exclusively “them” versus “us”is a restrictive negative and will never help our human condition elevate. Now is the time to embrace loving kindness—even for those who hold differing ways of being.

Amazingly, the Buddha stated in Pāsādika Sutta (Dīgha Nikāya/Long Discourses #29) that his followers are devoted to the persuit of happiness. However, it has to be qualified what kind of happiness we're after:We're not persuing happiness based on evil and unwholesome actionsWe're not persuing pleasures of the senses However, we are devoted to persue the joy, rapture and bliss of samādhi/jhānaAjahn Dhammasiha points out that mettā/loving-kindness is for many meditators the easiest way to get access to non-sensual happiness; and he encourages us to cultivate mettā throughout daily life.Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Our Spotify Playlists⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Dhammagiri Youtube Channel⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Pics⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠#happiness #joy #gladness #metta #lovingkindness #dhammatalk

Loving Kindness and Radical Honesty: A Wish for the WorldIn this episode of the Evolved Caveman Podcast, Dr. John shares his profound wish for the world: that everyone develops the courage to face their own inner challenges with radical honesty. He emphasizes that true loving-kindness is not just about wishing others well but involves facing personal fears, shadows, and emotional struggles head-on. Dr. John discusses the destructive habits and psychological barriers that prevent individuals from taking accountability for their own actions and emotions. He invites listeners to turn inward, practice emotional maturity, and cultivate deeper, more loving relationships. Ultimately, his message is a call to action for self-improvement that starts from within and spreads outward, healing relationships and, eventually, the world.
