A loving-kindness practice for equanimity during scary times.
When we are scared or threatened, our human instinct is often to retreat back to "our group" - to close the castle gates and to increase our "othering" of those outside our group. Loving-Kindness expands helps us expand our sense of who is "in" our group, so that we have a broader, more stable base. Operating from a sense of "me, myself, and I" can be a very narrow, reactive place to be. Broadening our awareness creates more equanimity.
In addition to the practice linked above, more Loving-Kindness practices can be found on the One Small Stone YouTube channel.
