You can "melt" your mind into your heart (Highly recommended)

Opening the Heart of Compassion is a description of a specific experience.

Is that pointing at the same thing? I was trying to illustrate a specific spontaneous experience

i think the mind dissolving into and the heart opening itself are distinct experiences

just thought the adjacent experience was worth mentioning. Good gif.

genuinely helpful image

but how

happened to me after a @jhanatech retreat! also recommend reading @sahra_bn might have tips too

I like your meditation LLM visualisations. I'm curious if you resonate with these click on the word 'stop' and tell me what you think of the meditation simulator

fkn love it @algekalipso check it

@algekalipso Haha @algekalipso already gave me homework for the next installment

the following instruction from a retreat with Catherine mcgee stuck with me: "let the mind rest in the heart, the heart in the body, and the body on the earth"

Reminds me of AH Almaas’ description of the presence of “merging love”

tips on how? any pointers?

happened to me after a @jhanatech retreat! also recommend reading @sahra_bn might have tips too

do you have pointers on how? it is the exact thing i am struggling with at the moment specifically: when i do metta, i notice positive affect in my face as well as my heart/chest area. but i am unable to merge the two as theres a perceptible "block" in the throat area

If you haven’t heard of/tried Tonglen this is very reminiscent of the traditional version of the practice.

Great GIF, BTW. Interesting that you experienced it as drops into the heart region, similar to the Tibetan deity visualizations, usually associated with a cleansing process.

crazy viz that’s exactly it

Make more of these - thanks!

You practise this shift of consciousness at stage 7 of The Mind Illuminated.
