Mindfulness Exercises, with Sean Fargo
Guided Loving-Kindness: Wish Others And Yourself Well
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
We guide a short loving‑kindness meditation that begins with softening the body and ends with offering yourself the same care you give others. Simple phrases and steady breath help shift tension into goodwill you can feel.
• settling the body with relaxed, alert posture
• softening shoulders, easing belly, limiting visual input
• finding a natural breath rhythm
• visualising loved ones and wishing them happiness
• repeating phrases of kindness and ease
• turning compassion inward with May I be well, safe, at ease
• letting benevolence permeate the body and close with a deep breath
Teach mindfulness without self-doubt, fear of judgment, or imposter syndrome.

Settling The Body
SPEAKER_00Mindfulness exercises dot com. Wishing ourselves and others well. Let's begin by taking a moment to settle your body in a comfortable position.
Softening And Breath Awareness
SPEAKER_00Finding a posture that feels relaxed and alert. You can close your eyes or look downward just to limit visual distractions. As you invite a sense of ease into your belly, your chest, and your head. And allowing that sense of ease to just travel around your body. Feeling a sense of well-being, relaxation. As you give yourself this gift of presence, of non-judgmental awareness, sense of care. As you check in with the physical sensations of your body, as well as any emotions you may be experiencing right now. As you allow yourself to settle and relax. As you relax your belly and soften your shoulders. Now taking a full breath in through the nose and out through the mouth. And allowing your breath to relax into a natural rhythm.
Bringing Loved Ones To Mind
SPEAKER_00As you bring to mind someone who you care about. Someone who makes your heart sing. Imagine them well and happy. May they be happy. And whatever other wishes you have for them, say them now. Bring to mind someone else who you care about. Imagine them well and happy.
Extending Wishes Of Happiness
SPEAKER_00Imagine their smile, their laugh, their kindness, and say to yourself, May they be well, may they be happy. May they live with ease.
Turning Kindness Toward Yourself
SPEAKER_00And with that same sense of care that you felt for these people, invite a sense of well-being for yourself. Invite a sense of care and compassion for yourself. Wishing yourself love and happiness. May I be healthy? May I be safe? May I live with ease. Wishing yourself the same sense of care that you'd wish for another. Same sense of care that someone who loves you would offer you.
Letting The Care Sink In
SPEAKER_00And as you breathe in normally, just allow these offerings of kindness and goodwill to sink in, can hold your heart, allowing the sense of care to permeate throughout your being. May I be well. Finishing with a full deep breath.
