Metta

Hi everyone!
There are always many discussions on how meditation has impacted people's lives 
. I am just wondering what kind of impact metta has had on you? What insights and impacts have you gained from the practice? I think it is such a beautiful practice, it brings me such a sense of love, joy and wellbeing. I also find it puts me very much in touch with my emotional realm - I can feel any sadness or grief, but there is space there too.

2 days ago I had a metta sit that was cathartic. For the first time I was able to project metta toward a person who has caused tremendous pain to my wife. I've been my own worst enemy in my life, so previous metta practices where I thought of people from my life have been pleasant but uninspired. Tuesday using my wife as a central character and choosing her villain was really eye opening.
None whatsoever
I am beyond such experiences ... oh wait ... 
Metta has levels for example in Sufism, the 'Black Heart' is considered a high state/station ...
For us beginners radiating metta, through sadhana or meditation is a form of feed back loop or resonance ...

... not to be confused with metta-banana ... or such like
