Our guest this Valentine’s week is Mary Brantley, MA, LMFT. She teaches mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) and loving-kindness meditation at Duke Integrative Medicine and she is the co-author of the book, The Gift of Loving-Kindness. We discuss what it means to extend loving-kindness to oneself and others and Mary introduces listeners to particular practices and phrases that build the capacity to love unconditionally. Mary’s CD’s and beautiful loving-kindness beads can be found at http://www.seedsofkindness.biz
