Hi Suzanne!
Leigh Brasington did a wonderful public service by compiling 19 translations of the Metta Sutta onto a single webpage. We use Bhante Gunaratana's translation at the Bhavana Society Forest Monastery where I live at least once a day. Maybe you could pick a translation which resonates with you and start with that? I do believe that reciting this sutta or something similar every day will make changes in the brain and therefore mind. Link below:
With love,
brian

Dear Sangha,--I made an intention on January 1st to practice metta meditation every day this year, which I am really excited about. Although I have a few guided practices I am using and endless possibilities to scroll through online, I would very much welcome recommendations from others in the sangha. Any favorites that have enriched your practice that you are willing to share?With much gratitude and, of course, metta,:)Suzanne
