Through the practice of metta meditation especially when working with people that challenge us (i.e., “the other,” our enemy, opponent), it can be a practice of working with heartbreak – exposing unhealed wounds or scars.
In my practice, people often come up that have essentially broken my heart – acted in ways that I experience as unkind, harmful, cruel, unjust, etc. Practice asks me to wish them well nonetheless.
Practice can sometimes lead to forgiveness, which is great (bonus!). Practice is the tool to stay broken/mended while at the same time stay open. When life gives us people and situations that break our hearts, we are also given the opportunity to break open.
May all beings be filled with peace🤍
May all beings always love and feel loved
