  <title>Episode #2: Lovingkindness Meditation </title>
  <description>Lovingkindness is a great way to create more compassion and self
care in your life. &amp;amp;nbsp;
I was recently lucky enough to attend and present at the
Trichotillomania Learning Center Annual Conference in Dallas for
those who suffer Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors. The conference
was filled with a beautiful group people who struggle with hair
pulling and skin picking, two disorders that are grossly
misunderstood and stigmatized in our culture.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;
What struck me over the long weekend was the incredible love
between the attendees. There were tears and laughter and hugs and
love shared between so many people from all over the world. On the
last day, I could see that most of the tears were coming from the
fact that they most would leave their conference family, where they
were accepted, and return back to their lives, where they feel so
alone and were no longer fully understood.
I share this meditation in hope to create or continue an
experience of love that that I felt so strongly during such a
beautiful gathering. It is a loving kindness meditation that has
helped me greatly when I feel alone or misunderstood and I hope it
helps you also.
