Loving-Kindness (Metta) is commonly practiced together with mindfulness for cultivating goodwill. In my MINDFULGym training for the Malaysian community, I often teach this song which is adapted from the Malay folk song, 'Rasa Sayang' (loving feeling):
Rasa sayang hey,
Rasa sayang sayang hey,
Hey, may I, may you, may all,
Be happy, Happy, HAPPY.
Rasa sayang hey,
Rasa sayang sayang hey,
Hey, saya ucapkan,
Sihat, S'lamat, Sejahtera.
Buah cempedak di luar pagar,
Ambil galah tolong jolokkan,
Saya budah baru belajar,
Mari MINDFULNESS, tolong tunjukkan.
While singing the song, mentally send positive wishes to all beings, wishing them safe, healthy, and happy...
