That Loving Feeling

Several years ago, I learned a great technique for applying love energy to just about anything. Once you get the hang of it, you don't have to do it as a meditation, you will be able to do it any where, any time.

Here's how it works:

Sit quietly, and think about someone or something you love. It doesn't matter what it is. Could be your child, your spouse, your pet... or it could be chocolate, a certain piece of music, a special or favorite place... anything. As you think about this thing that you love, notice how your body feels.

You might feel a warmth or an expansion in your heart, your muscles might relax, you might find a smile playing on your mouth... notice what happens when you think about what (or who) you love. Now, allow that feeling to expand to include your whole body... allow it to expand to include you. Once you have accomplished that, allow it to continue to expand to include your home, your neighborhood, your family, etc.

It feels good doesn't it? This is a great way to start the day, and a good way to put it to rest as well. I think that I'm going to use it as my daily meditation for the duration of our project.
