Loving Kindness Meditation practices decrease negative emotions, quiet our inner critic, strengthen empathy and compassion, and enhances social and nature connectedness. Studies show loving-kindness can act quickly. In as little as 7 minutes, a person’s good feelings & sense of social connection increases, although temporarily. In as little as 8 hours of practice, a person shows brain changes toward more permanently increased compassion. Reductions in usually intractable unconscious bias emerge after just 16 hours of practice.
