Loving-kindness for dementia and cognitive change, a guided meditation [Video]

Thank you for joining Good Grief Doula for “Loving-kindness for dementia and cognitive change.” This practice is for anyone who is living with and/or anticipates living with dementia and cognitive change.

The dominant narrative around dementia, neurodegenerative disease, and changes in the brain is one of trauma and fear, and this attitude can dehumanize and isolate folks. If you can relate, I assure you – You are not broken, you are worthy of respect, kindness, and life-long dignity. From my brain to yours, I can think of no more worthy practice than to consciously cultivate, again and again, loving-kindness for our loved ones, our communities, and ourselves.

Metta meditation can be helpful for cultivating feelings of love, connection, equanimity, and acceptance. May you accept yourself just as you are. May you enjoy laughter and creativity. May you be treated with love, respect, and dignity. May your hopes be realized. May you be free from fear and physical pain. May you be filled with loving-kindness. May you be well. May you be peaceful, and at ease. May you be happy.

Together, we can harness the transformative power of grief for good. Thank you for your practice today.
