The Loving Kindness Meditation is a Buddhist tradition going back over 2500 years as a practice for developing compassion. There are many versions. Traditionally you first bless yourself, then your teacher or mentor, then a beloved, etc. See list below. However, feel free to bless anyone who comes to mind. As you say this meditation out loud or to yourself, clearly visualize the person you are blessing.
May I be filled with loving kindness.
May I be well.
May I be peaceful and at ease.
May I be happy and know the roots of all happiness.
May "teacher" be filled with loving kindness.....
May "loved one" be filled with loving kindness.....
May "neutral person" be filled with loving kindness.....
May "hostile-like the last person you would want to bless" be filled with loving kindness.....
May all people be filled with loving kindness.....
