What people across the internet say helped
I found saying them outloud changed everything. Hearing it is very different than just thinking it. I started simple with things like "I'm worthy" and "I'm enough". It helped me alot when trying to heal.— u/jenniferjuniper, on reddit
Wow that was amazing! In the beginning I started balling my eyes out and felt so much anxiety and as the video went on I felt more calmer . This was the first time I actually was in tune with a meditation. Thank you— @xXBABYBUUXx, on youtube
I cried so much during this but I feel so calm now, thank you so much this helped me in many ways than one!!!— @gracesutherland1586, on youtube
Thank you.. I did this mediation for a week & helped me a lot, finally I’m ready to move on & Wish him well from the bottom of my heart— @lorelin2708, on youtube
I tried loving kindness a few times in the past but didn’t really “get it” until I did it through the Balance app Advanced II program.
I think since I “got it” it’s really changed me, but it’s one of those things that might take a few approaches until it clicks for some people.— u/lurkeraccount3, on reddit
I can recommend this one that is available on Insight Timer (both on app and in browser). I regularly return to this one when I need some loving kindness.
I wholeheartedly recommend it.— u/westvann, on reddit
