BRING MORE LOVE TO THE MOMENT
BRING MORE LOVE TO THE MOMENT On the Journey of Self-compassion and Lovingkindness toward yourself I want you to see how powerful and precious you really are. I want you to recognize each step forward, however small, at whatever pace is comfortable for your particular journey. This is a time to explore the depths of your being in a relaxed patient thoughtful way that allows your body to feel that is a safe place. To be able to see the world as it really is so that you can see the heaven that is already here and see through the hell to which you may have attached your identity. This is a time to reunite your mind and heart to discover emotional oneness that will gently move you along the journey to your highest self, your true self. Love is the ultimate equalizer! Love has only a beginning. It has no ending. Just notice if your own loving heart has been waiting at the end of the line to receive the love that you give to others. In fact, the love that you give to yourself, to your own loving heart, automatically goes out into the world. Love is an unobstructed expression of your true nature always present behind all the thought forms, narratives, judgements, stories, fantasies, etc. of the ego mind. This is a time to slow down, breathe, become quiet, and explore the intimacy within yourself. This is as time to love yourself as you’ve never been loved before. Here is a guided meditation process that might be helpful. . . 1. Turn off all distractions. Find a place that is quiet and comfortable, sitting or lying down, eyes open or closed, and take 3-4 deep breaths to get grounded and centered in your body right now in this moment. 2. Repeat these words out loud:
“When I’m sad, I deserve more love, not less.” “When I’m angry, I deserve more love, not less.” “When I’m frustrated, I deserve more love, not less.” “When I make a mistake, I deserve more love, not less.” “When I am hurt, heartbroken, misunderstood, or not trusted, I deserve more love, not less.” “When I’m embarrassed by my actions, I deserve more love, not less.” “When I am proud of myself, I deserve more love, not less.” “No matter how I feel, what I think about myself, what stories I am telling myself about my life, I deserve more love, not less.” “No matter what past traumas I’ve experienced and survived, or what traumas are up ahead, I deserve more love, not less.” “When life seems cruel and confusing, I deserve more love, not less.” “When no one is here to give me what I need, I deserve more love, not less.” “On my worst day, I deserve more love, not less.” “No matter what I’m able to accept, whoever I can’t seem to forgive, whoever I’m unable to love for whatever reason, I deserve more love, not less.” “The greatest way I can serve the world is to remember, I deserve more love, not less.” Love has an infinite compassionate nature. This infinite compassionate love simply says, “When you can’t accept the circumstances, just love your own loving heart, and I will accept on your behalf.” Love does not ask you to forgive what you feel is unforgivable., but simply says, “Just love your own loving heart, and I will forgive on your behalf.” And even if you feel you just can’t love at all, Infinite Compassionate Love says, “Just offer gentleness to your own loving heart, and I will love on your behalf.”
When you enter into the heart or surrender and you hand all of the choices of your words and actions to the love that we are, everything is done on our behalf. It is love working through you, through the magnificence of your participation to love your own loving heart more now than ever before. And discover yourself as the parent you are yet to meet, the best friend you never knew you had, and the lover who has always been here, not walking beside you, but resting within you here and now as the love that you are. As you unlock the heart to the secrets of the soul’s journey to reveal the mysteries of your own existence, you transform everyday life into a multi-dimensional spiritual adventure simply by being the source of your own fulfillment, traveling in a brandnew direction where only love can guide you forward.
