"Think of the person sitting nearest you. Be that person's best friend, extending our love and compassion, our care, and concern, to him or her.
"Think of ourself as the best friend of everyone who is present, and extend our love and compassion, friendship, care and concern to everyone with you. Fill everyone and embrace everyone with our friendship.
"Now think of ourself as your Child Within's best friend. Fill the Child with our love and concern, and embrace our Child Within with our friendship, letting our child know how much we care.
"Think of our nearest and dearest, and be their best friend. Fill them with our care, our concern, and our love, embracing them with our friendship.
"Now think of all our good friends. Let them feel that we are their best friend. Fill them with love, embrace them in friendship.
"Think of anyone whom we find difficult to get along with or hard to love. Become that person's best friend, thereby removing all obstacles in our own heart. Embrace him or her with love and compassion.
"Open our heart as wide as we can to as many people as possible, near and far. Let the feeling of care and concern, of love and compassion, reach out into the distance to as many beings as we can imagine, embracing them all in friendship.
"Bring our attention back to ourself. Feel the happiness that comes from communicating with our own Child Within. The ease and harmony that we can feel comes from accepting ourself, caring for ourself, enjoying our own company, just like a perfect Child Within would.
"May all beings practice Loving-Kindfulness with each other."
