REFLECTION QUESTIONHealth Practice Loving-Kindness MeditationHow can practicing Loving-Kindness Meditation be helpful to the health of the environment?
Justin Woodrow 10/04/2024 8:34 PMI think learning to love oneself can help fill the void that a lot of people use mindless consumption to fill. If even a few people consume less because they have less of a void to fill then this is worth it.-
Samantha G 10/08/2024 9:25 AMWell said! I think it's good for people to spend time with themselves - it's far too easy to get stuck in that mindless consumption of social media and the like.
