We're going to do a short meditation it's called the three wings of the heart because in the world today we don't actually know oftentimes what love really is or we get confused as to what love is.
What is love really?
What is it really you know?
What is it really?
Because it's a bit of a mystery isn't it?
Sometimes we might feel it as this overwhelming ebb of the heart and it just it's just like you can feel the the heart inside just like whoa whoa whoa.
Sometimes you might experience it as gravity in life maybe you're being pulled attracted it's like a force that draws you towards someone or something.
Maybe love is something you say to other people because you feel as if well everybody else says it so I guess I should say it and you don't really understand it.
I know I lived like that for a long time I didn't really get love.
I thought love was a concept a thought in my mind but over time I come to realize that oh wow yeah there's an experience here there's a a feeling there's a sense there's a there's a there's a knowingness and so this short three rings of the heart meditation will help us to lop in.
What are those three ringed experiences of love?
So if you wish to follow along now's a good time to find yourself comfortable and start dropping in.
Dropping in meaning dropping into yourself.
Know where to go know where to know where to be nothing to think about or do we're just starting to slow down we are starting to slow down and we're starting to become here to become into this moment.
I invite you to close your eyes I will do the same and so we begin the process of tuning into the sounds of this moment.
Maybe you can hear the rustle of the trees behind me the sounds of the birds maybe there's some sounds or noises in in your environment where you are just noticing them without judgment and finding a sense of ease here.
Letting go of anything in your mind or thoughts or emotions that doesn't serve you right now.
You can begin by tuning into your breath what does the shape of your breath look like or feel like.
No need to over analyze anything just noticing your own breath your breathing maybe your stomach is rising and falling maybe your chest is rising and falling just enjoying the peace of this transmission whilst connected to your body whilst listening to my words and the sounds and finding a deep sense of tranquility right now and so we can begin by focusing on the first ring of the heart you can picture this as the outer ring of the heart maybe centered on the centered in the middle of the spine level with your heart either inside your body or in your mind's eye a picture of your body you imagine your ring however you want to imagine it this outer ring we call the personal heart love as we know in our modern society the love we have for those around us our personal love and interpersonal love what is love to you there's love something you feel with your partner your parents your loved ones your close friends this is the love that i'm talking about in the first ring of the heart daily love the love that we express we share we receive through kind interactions and interactions and actions through sharing ourself with the world through words of affirmations sharing gifts being present we share and relate to love like this with those around us in our day-to-day life what does this type of love look like for you who do you share this type of love with in your life maybe you feel as if you want slightly more of this type of love or maybe you feel fulfilled in this type of love in your life you feel complete here or maybe you do want more deeper connections in your life just observing what's alive in you when exploring this first ring of the heart personal and interpersonal love the love that we feel on a daily basis in the world around us letting that go as we move deeper into the heart the second ring closer into the center we call this the collective or the transpersonal love the collective love the love of the whole the love for humans the love for the planet each of us can also experience love for what is here as human love for the need to take care of our planet our environment the the feelings we feel when we hear hardships on the other side of the world the world like it matters that we are in this together collectively as a whole as a human race our collective love what we are here on the planet what are we creating here on the planet who are we as a species our collective transpersonal love how does this love show up in your daily life does it show up in your daily life it might be that we're so caught up in our personal love and day-to-day drama and trauma that we don't really have space to feel the second ring of the heart to feel a greater love for humanity itself or maybe you are really aware and very aware of these issues and these issues are so important for you our collective journey together on the planet what's happening to us what might happen or might not happen to us as a human as one human as one human here living and we let that go moving into the third ring of the heart we could say the center the great mystery the ring that is the point in the middle that connects everything to everything all times forever the beyond the love for the whole that's ever been and ever will be for existence itself the third ring is everything there's been many words during the course of history that has referred to this third ring we could say god consciousness the universe the field buddha allah the list goes on the space beyond everything not just us as the human race but everything in existence and can you taste that mystery centered in the middle of your heart at the core of your beingness is a doorway to everything to everything with everything for everything as everything you are both a a speck of nothingness in the infiniteness and you are simultaneously everything at the core of your being and can you hold both of those polarities in existence right now you are everything and you are nothing you are nothing and you are everything when you can hold both those polarities in the moment you can find the freedom which i believe we're all longing for
