Thank you so much for posting this video. 🙏🙏🙏 Especially for those of us who have had difficult childhoods or a lot of trauma in our lives, I believe "metta for self" should be an important component of our meditation practice. It is my hope that more teachers will create teachings specifically for people who have experienced such difficulty from an early age, as unlike others who have had a safe start to life, they don't have a firm foundation of self love and self kindness upon which to base their meditation practice, and therefore a lot of the past trauma comes up during meditation practice when they close their eyes during meditation and they are alone with their difficult past. This is where I believe "metta for self" can help to comfort, love and heal these meditators.

Glad I found this. This monk has a nice way of speaking that feels like a good friend speaking to you. Metta 🙏
