    BREAKING THE BARRIERS One practices mett by visualizing the objects (beings), one after the other, by taking the path of least resistance, in a graduated sequence, which progressively expands the circle. One starts with oneself, and thereafter a respected person for whom one has reverence, then a neutral person, then an enemy. As one radiates thoughts of loving-kindness in this order, the mind breaks all barriers between oneself, a respected one, a neutral one and an enemy. Everyone comes to be looked upon equally with the eye of loving-kindness. TEN DIRECTIONAL RADIATION After completing the radiation of mett towards selected persons, when the mind breaks the barriers existing between oneself and respected ones, neutral ones and hostile ones, the meditator now embarks on radiating mett in the ten directions (east, west, north, south, northeast, southwest, northwest, southeast, downward and upward). He fills the world with love. ELEVEN BLESSINGS OF METT One sleeps happily, one wakes happily, one does not suffer bad dreams, one is dear to human beings, one is dear to non human beings, the gods protect one, no fire or poison or weapon harms one, one's mind gets quickly concentrated, the expression of one's face is serene, one dies unperturbed, and if one fails to attain higher states, one will at least be reborn in Brahm world.
