A few years ago, I had an interesting experience while on vacation. I practiced a kind of loving-kindness meditation, where you visualize your spiritual teacher or inspiring figures to open your heart. I did this repeatedly throughout the day during that vacation and also read inspiring texts on the subject. One evening, I meditated in bed and then went for a walk. I noticed that my “open heart” hadn’t closed again after the meditation. I felt extremely happy, courageous, and full of life. I walked around all evening in this state and just kept getting happier and happier.

It’s never happened to me since then that my open heart has locked into place like that and not gone away. Have you experienced anything similar?
