Metta Pride by Adrienne Ione

Sometimes we may believe acts of acceptance originate outside of us. We seek acceptance from others, approval from a particular person, or expect to be appreciated. This metta meditation turns the act of celebrating pride inside out - we begin from a locus of internal awareness, acceptance, approval, and appreciation and move outward - extending these qualities to all sentient beings.

My promise to the community is to promote active aging by motivating a process of self-discovery to reestablish mind-body balance. As a student, teacher, psychologist, personal trainer and writer, I am honored to explore the wonders of health, anger, joy, loss, love, death, and what ever else we may discover - into the depths of self-compassion - with people who invite me along on their journey.
