  5. Mindfulness Skills 10: Equanimity (Loving kindness)

In equanimity we apply the non-judgmental awareness skills of mindfulness to relationships. It is the capacity to observe those liked, disliked or those to whom we are indifferent, with the same objectivity and openness.
People are seen as the same as us, in that they want 2 things – to have pleasure or to be happy and to not be in pain or to have suffering. In this way a bridge of empathy is built with them. Here friends, strangers and enemies become a means to develop empathy and compassion.
