SUMMARY:Online | Loving Kindness: Opening the Heart and Releasing Negative 
 Emotions
DESCRIPTION:Part 3 of the Mindfulness series \nMindfulness is the practice
  of being present to one’s experience with loving attention\, which stud

 e in guided meditations that help open the heart. This practice encourages
