Hi guys. So i wasnt sure where to post this so i figured i'd just post it here. For those of you wanting this article on metta meditation, here it is.

"Metta" or, "Loving Kindness" meditation will help you come to peace with people you dislike or people who have done you wrong. It will allow you to expirience unconditional love for everyone (Yes, every living being), relieving the "need" or want for black magick. (person who origonaly wanted this was actually asking for a spell to harm another, i recommended this as an alternative.)

1. First... Sit in a comfortable position. One that you can sit in for at least 20 minutes. Then, regulate your breathing. but only at first. Inhale for the count of four, exhale for the count of 6. Do this, and you will notice yourself becomming more relaxed, and able to take deeper breathes. Now, inhale for 4, exhale for 8. Do this for a few breathes, then allow your natural breathe to take over. You will notice that your natural breathe is more rhythmic and deeper.

2. Next, close your eyes, and allow yourself to relax even more deeply. Clear your mind. Any time a though comes through your head, aknowledge it, and let it go. Be passive, do not actively think about anything. If you do, let the thought go, and come back to your breathing, thinking "inhale" on inhales and "exhale" on exhales.

3. Once your mind is cleared, when you exhale, exhale any negative thoughts and emotions. Then, as you inhale, inhale positive thoughts and emotions. Once you have accomplished this, start to breathe into your chest/heart chakra (green). This is the center of love and compassion, and the focus of our meditation today. Feel and experience the energies of your heart chakra as you continue to breath into your chest.

4. Now, feel these energies washing over you. And i mean, really feel these warm, comforting energies filling your being. Do this for a couple of minutes.

5. Then, send these energies out to someone that you care for. someone that you love a lot. Send out these energies for a few minutes as well, as you will do up to step 8.

6. Send these energies out to someone that you feel very neutral towards.

7. Now, send them out to someone that you hate. Someone that has done you harm, or given you reason to dislike them. If you can not open up to this person enough to send out these energies, pick someone that you dislike a little less.

8. Now, send out these energies to the people of you town. Then your country, and then to the whole world.

9. Once you've done this, countinue meditating for a while, still feeling yourself filled with these energies. Do this for as long as you'd like. You should feel as though you have much less, if not no anger bottled up within you. You should be at peace if you have done this correctly. Practice every day, and the energies will get stronger and much easier to experience/send out.

~Namaste & Blessed be :)
