In the west we often practice self-denial and self-love is seen as selfish. Funnily enough, the opposite is often the case. People who love themselves are more likely to love others than people who don't love themselves. In addition, with egoism, someone places themselves above the other, whereby in the case of self-love a feeling of unity is often experienced. In meditation you go back to a source where feelings of love never run out and which is present in everyone. As soon as you find your own source and fully experience it, you can transfer love to others.
