Best heart opening meditation?

[youngshinzen]

I want to invest a few minutes in the morning to open the heart. Has anybody benefited from doing that on a long term basis? Which guided meditations or techniques do you prefer?

@youngshinzen Visualize each person you know, where they’re at in life, what help they could use. Then imagine yourself helping out, in a thoughtful and timely way, big or small. Brings that love & synchronicity into your day, and the inclination is to do loving things. Mind likes to start with the easy ones first. When you get to ‘the assholes’, lol, you’ve found your barriers. Imagining the same for them will melt those barriers, and free your heart a little more.

@Nahm Can I chop their heads off and instead of face to imagine bright light sphere?

@youngshinzen I found this to be really clear instructions for Loving Kindness:

 

[Nahm]

@zeroISinfinity Alright that’s it! I’m doing it to you right now. (The love one, not the heads one)

[zeroISinfinity]

@Nahm @Nahm lol. Hahahaha. 

No need it is already done. 

Pls do not channel it. Extra sensitive to "That".

@Nahm Thank you, looking forward to try that. Do I have to make up the whole scenario or is it enough to imagine the reaction of the person feeling supported?

[youngshinzen]

@okulele Thanks!❤️

@youngshinzen Imagine the scenario - the you doing something part. Focus mainly on the feelings.
