This guided meditation for loving kindness was created by Michael Sealey and is quite good for learning how to give and receive loving kindness, compassion, happiness, abundance and healing and eliminating stress and anxiety.
Michael begins with a soothing body scan that takes about 7 minutes.
Then he asks us to bring into mind an image of our ideal self, whether it is a thought or representation of who you really are – a representation of your authentic self.

Loving kindness and compassion are two of the four immeasurable minds taught by the Buddha, the others being sympathetic joy and equanimity.
In my experience these qualities of loving kindness, compassion, sympathetic joy and equanimity have been indispensable for my happiness, healing, and my living a productive life.
