This meditation combines aspects of a body scan meditation and a loving kindness meditation. Body scan meditations help you relax by focusing on one part of the body at a time and loving kindness meditations are designed to help you increase compassion and empathy for yourself and others. Join Maria Shea as she leads you through this 13-minute meditation.
