The Buddha taught meditations on love, compassion, joy and equanimity. They are called the four immeasurable minds, because our capacity for love and transformation is unlimited, measureless, vast.

We begin with kindness and acceptance for ourselves and find that this gently opens our hearts to include the whole world. We discover that we can be confident actually, because there is space for every kind of experience in our hearts.
