May my commitment, my commitment, is: that's what I'll strive to contribute you.
Imagine starting your day with a heart full of love and gratitude. In this episode of 'A Skeptic's Path to Enlightenment', Buddhist psychologist Lorne Ladner offers a guided meditation that focuses on giving and receiving love.

Ladner's approach invites you to reflect on someone from your past who showed you kindness, filling you with feelings of warmth and safety. From there, he gently guides you to extend those feelings to others, imagining them feeling cherished and loved. It's a journey that not only helps you connect with others but also nurtures your own sense of inner peace.
Perfect for anyone looking to deepen their mindfulness practice or simply start their day on a positive note, this episode is a must-listen. Dive in and discover how to cultivate a compassionate heart and a more peaceful mind.
