Practiced right after asana today. Right on my mat. In the pool of my sweat. Breath a little faster than normal.

Went back to the metta practice today: repeated to myself over and over "may you be at peace...may you be free from suffering" and although I think my mind kept wandering because it was thinking something along the lines of "what's next?" - I could actually feel something inside of myself softening towards myself. Instinctively, I know this works, but on some level I am always a little surprised when I do feel a little bit more compassion arise when I do practices like this.
