Taking Refuge
in Your Body
Hosted by Cyndi Lee
The latest online course from Lion’s Roar features insight meditation practitioner and teacher JoAnna Hardy.
The Buddhist word metta is often translated into English as “Loving-Kindness”, this course explores the practice of metta that offers an opportunity to develop inner calm and focus. This centuries-old meditation technique can be a tool for those struggling with the suffering of the world. It is a way to make sense of the helplessness and turn it into action. It is a powerful tool for reflection and action in situations where you may feel helpless.
Learn how to cultivate more compassion and kindness – towards yourself and the world – in this new online course from Lion’s Roar.
How to Cultivate a Loving Heart: The Buddhist Practice of Metta is taught by JoAnna Hardy, meditation practitioner and teacher. Together with Lion’s Roar, she guides you through all you need to know to begin and deepen the practice of loving-kindness meditation.
