Meditation teacher Kynan Tan shares three loving kindness meditations in the Great Minds podcast.

If you've listened to any of the three Mettā or Loving Kindness meditations in this season of Great Minds, get to know teacher Kynan Tan in this conversation with host Sarah Malik. Learn what Mettā is, how Kynan found his way to meditation, and how it might help you in your everyday life.


Even before I meditated, people would say I looked calm, but internally there was a storm going on. These days I actually do feel calm inside.
Kynan Tan
Kynan Tan is a meditation teacher living and working on Gadigal and Wangal Land (Sydney, Australia).

After dabbling with meditation over several years, Kynan dedicated himself to sharing the practice of meditation as a tool to help with stress, anxiety, and depression. He uses his experience as an artist, musician, and programmer to share Dharma teachings in a way that is practical and creative.

Kynan has practised extensively in the Brahmavihārā practice among others. Brahmavihārā has four attitudes; mettā (loving kindness), karuṇā (compassion), muditā (empathetic joy), and upekkhā (equanimity).
