Layers Of Love: A Sensory Meditation

Hi there and welcome to another meditation with Mel.

Today we're going to be doing a meditation on love.

Find your seat or wherever you're laying comfortably.

I invite you to lay down if that is more comfortable.

Just start to feel easy in your body,

Being into contact with your breath.

Some people say that love is like a warm hug.

A shower is not just the water.

A shower incorporates the smells of your shampoo,

The feeling of the water,

Whatever temperature,

Hot or cold,

And of course the water.

Each of these different aspects of the shower are a different thing that make up love.

Love has many components,

Many pieces,

Many different types of love.

Love is not just one thing.

It's not just one person,

One item,

One place.

It is all of these little moments,

These groups of people,

These many items that stand in my mind in my shower.

Water washing over me,

Bringing attention to each drop,

Each smell,

Each sound even as I stand here accepting the love.

Because just because it's around me doesn't mean that I will accept it.

I will let it,

I will let the energy of that love fill me,

Washing over me.

Whether it be a person or a place or a possession,

Whatever it is that comes to your mind when you think of love,

Start imagining it.

Notice every detail,

Each aspect.

Notice any smells,

Even any tastes.

Sit in this love,

Letting this love wash over you.

Where do you feel this love in your body?

Notice how it grows.

How do you want to show that time?

You can conjure up love in your mind.

You can close your eyes,

Take a large breath and transport to the scene.

Transport to love.

Love is something we feel,

We experience.

Chart it or capture it in an image.

It is everywhere.

It is in every moment,

Every interaction.

If we watch for it,

We can find it.

We can live in it.

If you'd like,

Start to bring attention back to your body,

To the space that you're in.

If you'd like to sit just a little bit longer in this love,

I invite you to listen to the music,

But this is just a little slice of the love you can sit in.

You can always come back to this when you feel disconnected,

When you feel like you've lost your love.

Thank you so much and I leave you with all of the love in my heart that I send to you.

Enjoy.
