I am often asked about how meditation can be a practice of self-care or self-love.  This compassion meditation is the most beautiful example of how radiating compassion or love from within the heart and filling onself with love is indeed a practice of self-care. This is one way to put on your own oxygen mask each day before tending to the care of those around you.
The Light of the Heart Meditation has its roots within the Tantric Energy Body practices but I have given it a minor adjustment to make it practical for those with no prior experience in the Classical Tantra tradition.
 
Enjoy!
