The Significance of Love


Love enriches the soul, brings gladness to the heart and affirms that life is sacred. There is no confusion with love. You experience it in your heart as the shared filament of life, the glow that brings pure ardour into our soul, supports our spirit and contributes understanding and tolerance to our lives. It is our connection to spirituality and holiness and our most powerful connection to one another. In order to create anything of value in your life, there needs to be a vibrant delight, and what delight is more compelling than love? There are times in life when you have more questions than answers. In order to find the right answers, you need to love the questions themselves. Pour love on them until they melt. Love also offers us the key to freedom. To be free is not to cast off one's restraints but to live in a way that respects, inspires and increases the freedom of others-in other words, to live a loving life. To do this, never accept an evil that you can't change and in all that you do in life, let love be its motivation. Treat everything and everyone with love-whether it be triumph, disaster, friend, enemy, problem or joy.

Meditation on Love:

Close your eyes. Give thanks for all the heartbreaks, hurts and difficulties in your life connected to love. Give thanks for all the uplifting and happy moments love has brought you. Then give thanks that you are able to give thanks. Now be as still as you can. Be aware of the space around you and of the heartbeat within you. Concentrate on your heartbeat, and with each beat of your heart see your body and your mind beginning to shine. Now see a light coming out of your body. As the light starts to become bright, turning from pearl white to transparent, it starts to sing, beginning with one clear, bell-like voice and progressing to a thousand bell-like voices. Listen closely, hear the song and then the words. Know that for each of us the melody, harmony and tune within the song are the same, but the words are different, bringing us a unique message. As you listen to the words, you will hear your own special message.

As you listen, start to sing along with the words, burning them into your soul. When you feel ready to stop, allow the song to merge with the world around you. Breathe in and then out slowly, and then clap your hands together with intent and force to energetically close the meditation and bring it into focus.

This meditation is simple yet full of revelation.
