Mindfulness. This meditation technique follows and uses the breath. Mindfulness allows for better concentration, focus and control over thoughts, helping to restore emotional equilibrium.

Loving-Kindness. This technique begins by practicing self-love and acceptance. Ultimately we extend these sentiments into compassion for all beings. This fosters the tolerance and understanding that are so necessary at this time.

Tonglen. The heart has the capacity to handle any condition or state that we may experience. When we embrace our internal suffering instead of running away from it, the heart softens and awakens. We then begin to connect to and understand that all beings experience the same suffering. With this compassionate awareness, we breathe out that which we wish for ourselves and the world.
