The limitless qualities of loving-kindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity are your deep-down , ultimate reality, and those are qualities that cant be improved upon.

Heres some of what youll learn: How cultivating the Four Limitless Ones is the antidote to depression, i rritation, and isolation Basic meditation instructions to get you started in the foundational pra ctice A wealth of guided meditations for generating these radiant qualities to yourself, others, and the world Writing and reflection exercises to bring the Four Limitless Ones powerf ullyinto real life A simple chant you can use to create love and good will around yourself Powerful on-the-spot practices you can use throughout the day, even when theres no time to practice Do the program at your own pace.
