While in meditation with calming music or silence. (Personally, I find Theta Bin-aural Beats the most effective to take my mind to a receptive state)
Imagine your heart as a multi-petaled flower, like a peony.
Imagine it appear in your chest as the size of an apple.
Imagine it growing slowly, bigger and bigger and grow expansively bigger than yourself.
Melt into the flower completely and become the flower.
Feel the flower continuing to expand bigger and bigger.
The flower expands so much to include all of the world and beyond.
Imagine white healing light of you touching everywhere and touching everything.

This sounds both beautiful and useful at the same time. Thank you for sharing this with us, I'll give it a try the next time I sit for meditation.
