Metta Meditation
One of the most commonly practiced form of Samatha meditation practiced nowadays is Metta or meditation on Loving-kindness.
Metta is the unlimited and unconditional desire for all beings to be well and happy.
As we develop our practice, we realize that as we ourselves wish to be well and happy, so all beings also wish to be well and happy.

Metta Meditation
The practice of Metta meditation is to radiate this Loving-kindness to all beings in existence, whether they are small, medium or large, visible or invisible, near or far, etc.
We usually radiate Metta to ourselves first. We must know first the feeling of Metta before we can send it out to all other beings.
However, Metta must also be practiced with our actions too!

Meditation
You do not need long meditation sessions to begin with. Even a short 10 to 20 minute session every day or every other day will do wonders.
Meditation can be said to be the highest form of Buddhist practice as the Buddha himself attained Enlightenment through meditation.
