Love I’ve known
Positive Psychology · Baseer Maroof, LCSW
Recall a time you felt loved, then let that feeling become a warm light in your chest and slowly spread. You only tap. About four minutes.
If memories of love feel painful right now, it’s okay to stop at any point, or to pick a smaller moment. A kind stranger counts.
No typing. Anything you keep stays on this device.
If you’re in crisis, call or text 988, or call 911 in an emergency.
Tap one. There’s no wrong answer.
Tap or drag. Any amount is fine.
Love I’ve known
This blends a few familiar ideas. Recalling a time you felt cared for, in detail, is a common way to bring a feeling back into the body. Slow breathing with a longer out-breath is a simple way to settle. Sending warmth outward, to someone you love, to yourself and to everyone, is the shape of loving-kindness meditation.
If nothing came up, or it felt mixed or sad, that’s okay. Some people find love easier to imagine than to remember. Imagining the warmth still counts.
