Tibetan Buddhist meditation practice, also known as sending and receiving. While meditating, one visualizes with each outgoing breath that one is radiating goodness and peace to all sentient beings. And with each incoming breath, one visualizes taking in the pain and suffering of others. The idea being to decrease preoccupation with the self, and increase compassion towards everyone else.
