This podcast episode is about my routine of saying part of the Loving-Kindness Meditation as an affirmation while driving my kids to school in the morning to create calm & ease. I have been saying this affirmation with them for the last three years.

I learned it via Kait Hurley on the Kait Hurley App which includes movement and mediation. Kait learned this ancient practice of Loving-Kindness from her teacher Kimberly Carson, they have an 8-week meditation course in Kait’s app.

The morning ritual of saying part of the Loving Kindness Meditation as an affirmation with my kids has gained an extra special meaning throughout the pandemic and times when the world is hurting. And when we are having our own challenges as humans and a family.

The affirmation is always with us to guide us home to each other. When we say this as the sun peaks into the car, we are 100% present and calm, even if it’s just for that moment.

Note: You can say also say Loving-Kindness for your community, your country, and the world.
