Maitri — loving kindness in yoga

Maitri in yoga philosophy means loving-kindness—a quality of goodwill toward yourself and others that springs from recognizing your shared nature rather than from obligation or sentimentality. It is cultivated as a deliberate practice and becomes the natural expression of a mind freed from the contraction of self-centered concern.
