There many ways to experience this love. If I may share some my own experience, I have opened myself up tremendously in the past year, increasing the intensity and the purity of the love I feel for others as well as myself. One practice which has helped me open up my heart chakra is gratefulness; every night and on every occasion I get, I thank my brothers and sisters of the light as well as the universe for the events, beautiful sights, people and learnings in my life. Every difficulty becomes a challenge and potential for growth, and when one opens their heart, they can see and feel the love in every experience.
I live the love through recognizing the divinity in all my peers, regardless of their positivity or negativity. I also recognize it in my environment, most especially in nature. I have come to a point where I experience great joy touching plants and trees as I encounter on my path, feeling their liveliness. My heart swells when I see happiness on others' faces, as I rejoice in their joy. Physically, this makes me feel expanded, shining. It is truly a beautiful feeling which I do my best to carry in my daily life as well as share with others around me.
I must add that I also recognize and feel extremely deeply this cosmic love through the love I have for an incredible person I met somewhat recently. The intensity of this love and connection swept me off my feet; I did not know such pure and strong emotions could be felt, let alone reciprocated, on Earth. Regardless of the outcome (I won't hide I keep my fingers crossed), it is an openness of heart I wish for everyone to experience. It is breath-taking to say the very least.
Finally, like everyone else, I also have my low moments. But then I look up to the stars and remember/realize I am and will never be alone, I am so loved, and my heart swells again in gratitude and wonder.

In regards to diet, I personally practice vegetarianism. For me, it is an act of pure compassion towards my second density brothers and sisters. It makes perfect sense; why and how could I harm animals who, like us, feel pain, pleasure and emotions? One may argue that their awareness is lesser than that of a human's, but I choose to love and nurture. The opposite does not make sense to me from a heart perspective. Killing them and eating their flesh is completely unnecessary for my health, let alone my survival. If I did it, it would be a selfish act.
As a bonus, a healthy and balance vegetarian diet brings me vitality and cleansing. I feel much lighter.
This is of course a sensible topic and I accept some people may disagree with this view. I can only speak of my experience, and the answers which come from the deepest parts of my heart.
Love & Light
