Let Love Flow from Your Heart

We live in troubling times...

 We live in sad times...

 In a time of much despair...

 But, it is because we have forgotten we belong to each other. We have forgotten that at our essence we are Love. And we can shine that love. We can increase the Love that is on this planet. We can make a difference...

 Every book I pick up recently has the same message.

 The world needs your love and mercy. The world needs your kindness. We come into this world as pure love, but we forget who we are at our essence.

 So, let's take a moment right now to remember who we are.

 Yes, right now!

 Stop!

 Find a comfortable seat. Close your eyes...

 Place one hand over your heart. And your other hand over that one, as if you were holding or caressing your own heart...

 Feel your beating heart. Listen to it...

 Visualize that every heartbeat pluses with Love...

 FEEL that Love!

 Let it embrace you and saturate every fiber of your being...

 FEEL it's warmth!

 Your heart and body is filled to overflowing!

 Now send that Love out! Send it to the farthest corners of the earth!

 Visualize your loved ones and friends in need. Surround them with your love! Enfold them in Divine Love!

 And then send to anyone who needs it most. Someone you don't know. Send it out - let if flow gracefully, knowing it reaches it's destination...

 Surround that soul in a blanket of Love. Feel the Love pulsing within them...

 You can do this, any time it is necessary... For yourself... For others...

 Dare to transform this world one person, and one instant at a time!

 Now sit quietly for a while in gratitude...

 Give thanks for this amazing power of Love that you are at your essence. 

 FEEL the warmth of this gratitude and of a deed well done!

 Then go out into the world, and about your work, knowing that the fruits of your labor are far-reaching! It extends far beyond what you even realize!

Upside Down Siva and Ultimate Freedom

Image
While I was in Denver last month, on Thursday May 7th, the day of the week in which the Guru and teachers are traditionally honored, I was drawn to buy a "murti" (sacred statue) of Siva doing a one-handed handstand. I bought this statue the very morning I was to demo this pose, unbeknowst to me... The murti of Siva is now on my desk in front of me, where it is constantly in my peripheral vision, every time I sit at my computer. It is also to the left of the meditation alcove I built into a closet. I was drawn to this piece from the first moment I laid eyes on it, and so after receiving it in the mail, I wrote to Dr. Manoj Challam, from whom I purchased it, asking him to give me more insight into the meaning of this representation of Siva. A primary focus of the week that Anusara Yoga teachers gathered in Denver was the study of the Siva Sutras with Dr. Paul Muller Ortega, a pre-eminent Siva scholar. I have always been very drawn to Siva , and this particular murti was so

A Christmas Poem

Last year, I wrote this poem. These were my wishes then, and they are my wishes once again this year, and every year - for you - for me - for all of us! And so, here it is, one more time... This Christmas… Love. Love totally and completely. Love without restraint. Love with total abandon. Forgive. Forgive everything. Forgive every ancient grudge. Forgive the Unforgiveable. Hope. Hope for a better world. Hope for Peace, and an end to strife. Give Hope to all in despair. Dream. Dream the Impossible Dream. Feed your Dream and Give it Life. Make it real. Believe. Believe in the Seen. Believe in the Unseen. Believe in the Power of Miracles. Live. Live fully and Live deeply. Live with Great Passion. Live Each moment, as if your last. Touch. Embrace a loved one. And a lost one. Embrace them again. Hold a hurting hand and heart. Feel. Feel everything. Fee

Rumi - "The Lord is in Me" and "Love Said to Me"

I was sent a couple of poems by Rumi recently, and I wish to share them here. May you find inspiration in them for a glorious weekend! The Lord is in Me The Lord is in me, and the Lord is in you, As life is hidden in every seed. So rubble your pride, my friend, And look for Him within you. When I sit in the heart of His world A million suns blaze with light, A burning blue sea spreads across the sky, Life's turmoil falls quiet, All the stains of suffering wash away. Listen to the unstruck bells and drums! Love is here; plunge into its rapture! Rains pour down without water; Rivers are streams of light. How could I ever express How blessed I feel To revel in such vast ecstasy In my own body? This is the music Of soul and soul meeting. Of the forgetting of all grief. This is the music That transcends all coming and going. Love Said to Me I worship the moon. Tell me of the soft glow of a candle light and the sweetness of my moon. Don't talk about sorrow, tell me of that treasure
