Loving kindness meditation for multiples (or you)
December 18th, 2021
You are safe.
You are loved.
You are known.
You are never alone.
Loving kindness meditation is a practice where people think positive thoughts for themselves and then others. You can find scripts, audio, and video examples on the web. I adapted this practice for myself as a multiple who meditates. Each person has to find their own way to healing, but this has been one huge step on my path. Adapt as you wish.
Set a timer to go off every 2 minutes. The Insight Meditation app has a very flexible meditation timer. One part (we use the term part or other to refer to the others sharing this body) starts and focuses on another part for 2 minutes, and then moves on to the next part, repeat until everyone has been focused on, concluding with focusing on yourself. There are 5 of us and one who meditates, so this is how we do it. Please adapt the statements to things that are powerful for you.
For 2 minutes think the following statements while visualizing the other part:
You are safe.
You are loved.
You are known.
You are never alone.
It has been very powerful to stop after repeating these phrases for a bit before the next bell, and see if a part answers back.
Continue for the next 2 minutes with the next part. Repeat until each known part has been focused on.
For the last 2 minutes, send these thoughts to yourself, the part doing the meditation.
