“Love is the greatest power” - Maharaji
When you think about what love looks and feels like to you, how would you describe it? Is it someone doing something kind for you? Verbally saying they love you or other kind words? Or is it just a feeling, like a sense of calmness and being comfortable?
Time for a quick practice! I want to take you through an exercise of opening up the heart space holding intention on love as you walk through it.
I want you to take a moment and look at all of the relationships where you have experienced love. All of your friendships, family, past relationships and children. Focus on the loving moments.
As you do this close your eyes, and holding your hands over your heart take in a deep breath of gratitude for the loving experiences. Take at least 4 good inhales and exhales of gratitude.
Now, still holding your heart I want you to begin to expand this gratitude from personal relationships to people you have had encounters with throughout either your day or life. While walking through the grocery store, at work or at a party. Again with each breath in, hold that same feeling of gratitude and love for those same experiences. Exhaling slowly for 4 breaths.
Expanding further now, bring your intention to a global level. Holding love and gratitude for Mother Earth. All she has given to us and brought us in this lifetime. Supporting us and giving us this experience here and now. Do this for a good 4 breaths.
Lastly, now hold the intention on you. Holding gratitude for each breath, each moment of being alive, be grateful and hold love for being here now and taking the time for you. Allow all of that love to sink into your heart taking as many breaths as you need to begin to open up.
I love doing this exercise, it takes about 10minutes to go through the whole process. Feel free to increase the amount of breaths for each portion of expansion and work with this base as you will. Bringing you to a place of openness. A beautiful way to start the day.
Love, Light and Blessings,
