It's a funny thing, love. You think you have it, then the next minute, it's gone. And you realise it was only a bunch of moments, strung together in time. The fact is that you can never 'have' it. A more enduring perspective on love, is that it is eternal. It literally 'withstands the test of time'. Even if it is no longer being expressed, in relationship, love continues in its pure form, forever. In this way, every love we have contributes to the love vibration of the universe. This article includes some positive meditations that open you to loving, being loved, and feeling good about yourself.
Love Spheres Meditation
This is a very beautiful and fun meditation, so easy, and immediately connects you lovingly with people you haven't thought of for years! Relax, breathe deeply, and imagine a giant pearl rotating at your heart. The pearl begins to spin faster, sending out sparks of light. It generates spheres of pink, green, and white light, and you let them fly out into the Universe. Now imagine the sphere at your heart representing your love, and gently throw it to someone you know. Receive the one that comes back and immediately throw it lightly to someone else you know. Continue receiving and giving out spheres. This is instantly heartening and connects you with people you love all over the world. Mentally ask them to carry on playing the game with their friends, and know you are sending light out everywhere! Enjoy the love that comes back to you. Enjoy giving yours out. Play! When you are ready, gently return.
The Love Re-programming - for inner and world peace
In recent articles, I've been talking about 'the model' we receive as we watch our parents relating, which becomes our 'norm' for our own relationships. We have some funny ideas about love, and what it is, in our world. This is because the models that we have been receiving, passed down from our parents and ancestors for centuries, emanate from some dark times! Hence we have warlike tendencies in our world and as part of our 'love' model. The model is tainted. The way to rebuild our model of love is to turn off any 'negative' ideas we have about it. This is done very simply, by embracing all the negative things that we don't want our expression of love to include. This leaves us with the pure, good, blessed model, of what we really want.
This is deeply powerful. It literally is a 'peace programme'.
How to do it
Write down a long list of everything you don't want love to be. My list is below. Feel free to add to it with everything you've always disliked about your experiences of love (email me your additions!) Once your complete list is ready, you simply go through it using the 'embracement process'* - say out loud: 'I choose to believe... (and read the list aloud:) Love is wasteful, love is cruel, love is late, love never apologises, love is hateful, love is rude, love is unkind, love is anger, love is sadness, love is fear, love is upset, love is stress, love is tension, love is longing, love is missing, love is saving someone, love is sacrifice, love is self-sacrifice, love is power, love is ambivalence, love is unclear, love is lies, love is false, love is heavy, love is overpowering, love transgresses boundaries, love is mean, love is jealous, love is homeless, love is unwanted, love is dirty, love is unforgiving, love is ignoring, love is indifference, love is violent, love is hate, love is stupidity, love is war, love is dictatorship, love is not listening, love is uncaring, love is bitter, love is crude, love is envy, love is lazy, love is denial, love is profane, love is sour, love is loss, love is lost, love is hopeless, love is a waste of time and money, love is violation, love is desolation, love is injury, love is purjury, love is death, love is crazy, love is frightening, love is intrusive, love is boring, love is misunderstanding, love is vague, love is vain, love is quarrelling, love is clinging, love is pretentious, love is a lie, love is disrespectful, love is dishonour, love is selfish, love is bitchy, love is sarcastic, love is food, love is hurt, love is pain, love is killing, love is dying, love is slavery, love is martyrdom, love is abuse, love is tainted, love is victimhood, love is bullying, love is negative, love is for fools, love is never giving in, love is being right, love is wrong, love is tasteless, love is sex, love is money...
Then say out loud 'I love myself when I believe.. (and repeat the whole list again): Love is wasteful, love is cruel, etc etc. Then say 'and I embrace it, I surrender' (and imagine you're hugging a three year old child).
This re-programs you for a positive form of love. It is powerful. Drink lots of water! I will be doing this at my Sunday 4th September Healing Circle if you want to join in.
Somebody out there loves me
Imagine you are standing in front of someone you deeply love and respect and they are looking at you. Gently imagine yourself turning round and floating into their body. Feel how they are feeling when they look at you.
Releasing the past
It's good to envision all the bad things that have happened in your life, and let them go. But what about the good things? Interestingly, we also hold on to the good and best things that have happened to us, and imagine we can never better them! This creates a block for great new things to come to us! Here's a beautiful meditation that helps. Simply have the intention of retaining all the love and wisdom from the good events, as you release them and let them go. You will find it wonderfully freeing. And it gives you the chance to remember and enjoy positive things as you make space for EVEN MORE!!
Relax, breathe, gently drift back along your timeline, remembering the very best and good things that ever happened to you. Retain the love and wisdom as you gently let them go. Keep travelling along your timeline, remembering all your best and favourite moments, releasing them. Then gently return to the room feeling lighter, freer, and ready for something even better!
