Metta Prayers

This is a dynamic list of prayers that will never remain the same.  The prayers continuously change-evolve based on whatever is needed at the moment. I invite you to breath in, soften, marinate, consume, those prayers that feel right for you. 

Prayers sent to:1) Yourself, 2) benefactor/mentor, 3) neutral person, 4) difficult person 5) all beings, the earth & universe.
