Lovingkindness practice isn’t about trying to jam the heart open. Sometimes our heart needs to close in order to protect ourselves, and other times it needs to open, to be part of this web of interconnection. As practitioners, our invitation is to know what state our heart is in, and then to choose as wisely as possible from there.
