Heart Opening Meditation

Heart-Opening Meditation is a practice designed to cultivate warmth, kindness, and openness toward yourself and others. By focusing on your heart center and breathing deeply, you can release emotional blockages and foster a sense of compassion. The core of this meditation is to visualize a warm light expanding from the heart, filling the body and radiating outward to loved ones, strangers, and even those with whom one has conflicts. 

Instructions:

1. Sit with a relaxed posture, eyes open, gazing forward into space.
   
   
2. Place a hand on your heart and breathe deeply into your chest.
   
   
3. With each inhale, visualize warmth filling your heart.
   
   
4. With each exhale, extend that warmth outward to loved ones, then to all beings.
   
   
5. If emotions arise, let them flow freely—there is no need to suppress them.
   
   
6. Softening into the experience of love and openness.
   
   
7. Continue for 10–15 minutes, allowing your heart to expand fully.
