As both of you who look at this know, I have been studying up on Zen, and practicing meditation to work on some of my own stress related issues. I have been learning things about myself that I was not aware of in the process.
When Amy and I visited the Buddhist Monastery in Sterling we learned Metta (Loving Kindness) Meditation, and it was fantastic. We sat with others and a Monk from Africa, who taught us this meditation topic. We sat for an hour, and I have to say I felt completely relaxed and grounded, and completely connected to myself and everything around me. It was really an incredible experience.
I look around for info on Zen, on the web and anywhere else I can find it, and I stumbled upon a great little motivational website that recently posted an article on Metta (Loving Kindness) meditation. This does not go into any of the detail that I learned at the Monastery, but I just wanted to share it with you.
