"When sensations arise in your heart during meditation, they are the blossoming of your spiritual essence; embrace them with presence, for they lead you from restlessness to profound peace and love."
According to Osho, sensations in the chest during deep meditation—burning, throbbing, even ‘heart‑attack‑like’—often signal the spiritual heart opening behind the physical one. These are echoes as soul-centre petals bloom; initial restlessness matures into peace, silence and overflowing love as mind’s barrier dissolves. Don’t be afraid; stay present and allow it. Yet remain practical: consult a physician to rule out genuine physical issues.
It’s usually your deeper, spiritual heart waking up and spilling into the body; feel it calmly, but see a doctor if unsure.
