There will not be a meditation on Sunday December 17 and 24. We will have a session on December 31 at 10:30 am but not on January 7 2018. We will start our regular sessions January 14. See you then!
The meditation for the next two weeks is:

Recite each verse 1, 3, or 7 times.
“May I be happy.”
“May I be peaceful and at ease.”
“May I be well.”

[Send lovingkindness to yourself. Say it slowly, gently and without expectation.]
“May Sally be happy.”
“May she be peaceful and at ease.”
“May she be well.”

[Send lovingkindness to someone for whom you have a natural affection. Visualize, feel the essence of that person, or simply name them, then recite the above phrases.]
“May the “man at the bank” be happy.”
“May he be peaceful and at ease.”
“May he be well.”
“May he be filled with lovingkindness.”
[Send lovingkindness to someone that you neither like nor dislike.]
