Metta refers to the Buddhist idea of loving-kindness. It means benevolence, goodwill, and love. Five stages comprise the metta bhavana practice: sending metta to yourself, then thinking of a friend, followed by thinking of someone 'neutral,' then thinking of someone you dislike and sending them metta, and finally thinking of all four along with the entire world and sending metta outward.
