Heart Meditation for Self-Love and Compassion (20
min)
A Meditation to Connect with the Qualities of the
Heart:
Self-compassion, Compassion, Empathy and Trust
In the Book of Wisdom, Osho recommends this technique to connect with the qualities of the
heart for self-compassion, compassion, empathy and trust
In the ancient Indian scripts of the Vigyan Bhairav Tantra the god Bhairava relates to his
beloved wife Bhairavi though 112 Tantric meditation methods. In this one, number 16 from the series, he says: "Blessed one, as senses are absorbed in the heart, reach the center
of the lotus.“
While listening to the music, listen to it from the heart. Feel the music coming to your heart;
let your heart vibrate with it. Let your senses be joined to the heart, not to the head. Try this with all your senses, feeling them passing through your heart and
dissolving.
