Loving-Kindness or Metta Meditation
You can use a simple loving-kindness or metta meditation to help you practice compassion for people who are outside of your normal in-group. Generally, metta meditations begin with offering compassion toward yourself and then expanding that outward to friends and loved ones, and ultimately to strangers and people with whom you may have difficulty.
This simple practice is used by researchers to generate positive emotions, and also has been shown to reduce implicit bias toward stigmatized outgroups.
Self-Compassion Meditation
- Imagine being in the presence of the benevolent being of your choice (e.g., your mother, Jesus, Source, etc.).
- Imagine this benevolent being showering you with love and compassion.
- Open your heart and receive it.
