What words should I tell myself before meditation?
May I be well, happy, and peaceful. May no harm come to me. May I always meet with spiritual success.

May they always rise above them with morality, integrity, forgiveness, compassion, mindfulness, and wisdom.

Who should I extend loving kindness to?
Myself, my family, my parents, my friends and colleagues, unfriendly people, and all sentient beings.
What should I do if I feel distracted and frustrated with myself?
Just watch these sensations from a distance and let them fade when they’re ready
