Loving-kindness is a sense of goodwill, or friendliness, often accompanied by sensations of warmth and receptivity. The essence of love to me is a kind of ambition or desire that one’s self and all others may find the cause of happiness. This provides openness and degreases the weakening tendency of the mind to constantly judge. Breathing into the center of the chest, which is an essential aspect of the Loving Kindness meditation, somehow changes the firmness of our judgmental mind, and allows us to access this capacity to be open and let others let in.
