Loving Kindness Meditation practices decrease negative emotions, quiet our inner critic, strengthen empathy and compassion, and enhances social and nature connectedness. Studies show loving-kindness can act quickly. In as little as 7 minutes, a person\u2019s good feelings & sense of social connection increases, although temporarily. In as little as 8 hours of practice, a person shows brain changes toward more permanently increased compassion. Reductions in usually intractable unconscious bias emerge after just 16 hours of practice.\nPlease subscribe today!\xa0\nFor more mindful content:\nhttps://amindfulmoment.com\nhttps://work2livewell.org\n\nConnect Socially:\nInstagram\nYouTube Channel\nTwitter\nDonate to support our show!\nTeresa on LinkedIn\nThe Spanish Version of our Podcast\xa0\n\nA Mindful Moment is written and hosted by Teresa McKee and/or Melissa Sims.
