Hi Suzanne (and sangha),

IMC Redwood City has a practice every weekday called Happy Hour at 6 PST / 9 EST. I've only attended sessions with one of the teachers, Nikki Mirghafori, but she usually has a very creative and unconventional approach to metta/heart-centered practices that I personally really love.

Here's a link to the IMC Redwood City calendar; you can find the Happy Hour event description each weekday with the zoom and youtube links. 

All the recorded meditations from the past are also available on AudioDharma!

Good luck with this beautiful intention!

With metta,

Clark

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:

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
