Falling Into Love

You You The mind of love is very wide It grows immeasurably and eventually is able to embrace the whole world The Buddha on the morning of his enlightenment realized we all have the capacity to love But we seem not to believe it as As we continue to cause suffering to ourselves and others Ticknock Han says it is when you bring love to yourself that you help others You stop being a source of suffering to the world you become a reservoir of love compassion joy and equanimity The time has come in your journey to bring forth your truest nature to not hold back from what is most essentially you Love So find a place to sit quietly now a place that is comfortable where you can rest and relax and breathe Take deep breaths Feel your body on the earth And let your eyes Look deeply into yourself with the eyes of love Breathe each breath as if it is filling you with love Look upon yourself with love through eyes of love Empty any negative thoughts Exhale completely any doubts that you are love Let your heart open to love what you love Perhaps it's a sunrise or the mountains Or a child Your beloved A loyal pet a perfect flower A beautiful moment Let this whatever it might be for you that brings love to you Let this remind you of the love inside of you Open to your breath breathe deeply Open to your heartbeat Feel all that is in your heart at this time Open to the rivers that flow inside of you from this well-souled Of your own desire to live a full and hearty and heartful life Let your body be held now gently by your care and your attention and breathe Let your body be held now gently by your care and your attention and breathe Let us take a journey now inward inside down and in Find that path inward let your breath bring you there Let your breath bring you there Let your breath bring you there Find that path inward let your breath bring you there the in breath the inner expansion and Listen for that noble and steady calling of the love That lives inside of you that ignites you that enlivens you and Follow this calling now Follow this calling inward Keep following the inner rivers To a magnificent doorway Breathing down and in running even towards this beautiful opening Breathe yourself through this portal Breathe deeply trusting each breath Trusting each heartbeat Trusting each heartbeat Trusting this steady and noble calling that is leading you as you are leading yourself to the field of love This field of love that has a vibration of vibrancy and aliveness Remember it feel it Resonate with it Let your body Remember this love that lives inside of you and in love with you Remember this love that lives inside of you and enlivens you moment to moment Let yourself fall now Into the warm and soft embrace of love's acceptance Love's invitation to let go to surrender Let yourself fall in love Let yourself fall away now Let yourself fall away now Let yourself fall away now Let yourself fall away now Let your eyes see and feel The love inside of you Let your mind rest here In peace And find your place here among the soft waters the soft earth The vast heavens that bathe and surround you in love And breathe and breathe again and again And breathe again and again Loving acceptance of yourself Become love become the field of love Become this resonant vibrational field That creates life that sustains life Let yourself fall into the love of love That creates life that sustains life Let yourself die away to any of those things that would restrict Or constrict your heart let your heart breathe Let your entire being breathe Your feelings perceptions mental formations and consciousness Is suffused in love now You are love and as you are love so your speech your actions your intentions And your will are the energies that resonate and manifest love Feel that now feel this resonant field within you This field of benevolence is embodied beauty embodied wisdom Embodied purpose embodied action And once you have filled your heart with love And once you have filled yourself with love And once you have filled yourself with love We will now make an intention together A deep breath and on the exhale send out this love in one direction And on the next deep breath and exhale send out this love in another direction And on the next deep breath and exhale send out this love in another direction And on the next deep breath and exhale send out this love in another direction And send this love out in another direction And send this love out above you and below you And as you are filled with love as you are love as you resonate love let this love emanate from you in all directions above you below you Let this love go out to those that you know Let this love go out to those that you do not know yet or may never know The mind of love is very wide it grows immeasurably and eventually is able to embrace the whole world Practice the same as you fill with compassion with joy with equanimity and send this outward When the energy of love is strong in us we can send it to beings in all directions like waves of sound or light that penetrate everywhere Our love can do this too All we need to do is simply breathe from this resonant field of love to recognize our true nature that we are love We are the instruments that bring love into the world So the time has come in your journey to now ask this of you and it is what Joseph Campbell refers to as following your bliss It is when you bring love to yourself that you help others and you stop being a source of suffering to the world you become a reservoir of love compassion joy and equanimity Ask yourself how do I desire to be part of the world as it is as I am How can I now acknowledge and act upon my soul's longing and purpose and be the instrument of change through service to myself to others through love compassion joy and equanimity How is it that you wish to be in the world to be known What is it that you wish to bring to the world to your life to others and to yourself If you think you are alone that is an illusion the art of bringing love and happiness to others is service in the world We carry those who have loved us in us we transmit our loved ones from the past our ancestors those who have come before us those who walk with us now we transmit them in our own world in our own life through our daily actions and in this way we honor our elders we honor those who walk alongside of us now and we also honor those who will follow us Take this time now to make your prayers and intentions and put this in your medicine bag to take with you upon your journey Your blessed journey May many blessings and may love travel with you upon your journey I leave you with the words of Rumi All the precious words you and I have exchanged have found their way into the heart of the universe one day they'll pour upon us like whispering rain helping us arise from our roots again Namaste
