Open Heart practices activate regions of the brain involved in sustaining attention, synthesizing communication between thoughts and feelings, increasing accurate empathy, and cultivating body-based emotional feelings. These practices can help with mood concerns, resentment, perspective taking, and unresolved grief.
With these practices, you are intending to send these feelings out to others in the world. Targets for these practices may be yourself, family, friends, acquaintances, or regions of the world that are experiencing conflict.
Meditation for open heart can also help us to establish and maintain healthy boundaries in our relationships as we gain accurate empathy and conscious communication to round out feelings of love.

A note about trauma and meditation: If you have experienced traumatic or overwhelming life events, certain meditation or relaxation practices can contribute to unmanageable effects and bodily sensations. Trauma survivors may have decided that they are not capable of meditation or that it’s “not right for them.” Fortunately, there are helpful ways to ensure that meditation instruction is trauma-informed, with an emphasis on grounding and on physical and emotional security.
