Love is a Skill You Can Learn

Learn it Together on Sunday

If you’re wondering why you don’t feel loved or loving enough — or think that you just don’t have as much compassion or kindness as other people — you probably don’t understand that love and its associated qualities are skills that you can develop. They’re not just mindless, reactive, pleasant feelings that come and go, or something that some people are born with and others aren’t. Love is a quality that we can improve and cultivate, just like we can get better at the crossword puzzle with practice.

Important: this course is free to Benefactor Subscribers! If you’d like to mutually support you and me, you can become a Benefactor Subscriber for only $108 a year and reap the rewards of your generosity and good sense with a free one-on-one session, access to the archives, and more.

If you direct your efforts to become skillful at love, caring, good sense, and compassion, you’ll bless yourself and everyone you encounter. It’s obvious that everyone benefits when there is more love and caring in the world — so I encourage you to make an effort to develop yours. That’s why I’m offering a four-week course starting on Sunday, to give you the tools and practices and encouragement you need to learn to relate to yourself with gentleness, and treat everyone you encounter (including you) with care.

You’re invited to Love Yourself and Others 101 beginning on Sunday, January 12, 11am-12:30pm EST via Zoom.

This event is for everyone. No experience in meditation or Buddhism is necessary — all you need is an intention to treat yourself and your experiences with greater lovingkindness. You can see all the details at this link. And, if the live session doesn't fit into your schedule, you’ll be able to access a recording of each class and participate at your own convenience.

In Love Yourself and Others 101 we’ll explore:

• The traditional Buddhist view on our inherent wisdom and compassion

• How to practice mindfulness and lovingkindness meditation

• The difference between self-compassion and self-improvement

• Approaches to lessen self-conflict, self-judgement, and self-criticism

• How to cultivate wise action to support self-care and healing

• Ways to create conditions that foster happiness for yourself and others

In 2025, I wish for you to meet yourself with love, approach difficulties with wisdom, and allow your good heart to shine for yourself and others. If you have questions about the class, please reply to this email and ask me!

Metta+++,
