Welcome to day 20 of the Heart Workers 21 Day Meditation Journey.
Sit with a straight spine or lie down.
Relax your shoulders.
Rest your hands on your knees.
Close your eyes and take this time to connect with your own body.
Let your muscles become loose.
Starting with your feet,
Your lower legs,
Knees,
Upper legs,
Torso,
Back,
Shoulders,
Arms,
Hands and face.
Relax your whole body.
Feel your body loose and relax.
Turn your attention now to your breath,
Noticing each breath as it flows gently in and out of your body without any thought.
Think about a person you love deeply.
It can be a member of your family,
A dear friend,
A lover,
A child.
Feel how much you love that person.
Feel how much you only want the best for that person.
Place your awareness on your hearts and send all your love to the dear one.
Smile while you are doing it.
Doesn't it feel so good to send love?
Doesn't it feel empowering to open up your hearts and spread your feelings naturally and fully?
Take some time now to spread this feeling of love throughout your own body.
You are loved right now.
Now think about a time and place you didn't understand that person.
Maybe your child was screaming at you in the supermarket because you refused to purchase the bag of candy at 10 am in the morning.
You explain your reasoning but your child wasn't able to listen to you.
He or she was too obsessed with the candy,
Screaming I hate you now.
I hate you.
Another example could be your lover who is accusing you of hiding some information from them.
And your intention was miles away from hiding anything but you hadn't taken the time to share this piece of information that was not important to you.
What matters in this context is that this information was more valuable for your loved one than it was for you.
Hence instead of defending yourself by explaining all the good reasons you had not to share that information,
Listen to your loved one and put yourself in her or his shoes.
Nothing is wrong with the request your loved one made to you.
And nothing is wrong with the fact that you didn't share it in the first place.
What matters now is that you can connect to your heart and assume the best from the other.
Unless your child is going through an unreasonable whim,
He or she may be hungry at 10 am in the morning and may accept an alternative food to candies.
Your partner may have had good reasons to know the information you thought was unimportant because he or she was organizing a surprise for you.
By listening and trying our best to understand the person we are talking to,
We are speaking the language of love.
We are putting ourselves as creators of a beautiful flow of giving and receiving love.
Just now repeat three times in your mind today's affirmation.
I practice deep listening and I speak the language of love.
I practice deep listening and I speak the language of love.
I practice deep listening and I speak the language of love.
I will remain silent now for a few minutes.
You can turn your attention to your breath,
Noticing each inhale and each exhale.
Or simply relax into the quiet.
You can turn your attention to your breath,
Noticing each inhale and each exhale.
You can turn your attention to your breath,
Noticing each inhale and each exhale.
You can turn your attention to your breath,
Noticing each inhale and each exhale.
You can turn your attention to your breath,
Noticing each inhale and each exhale.
You can turn your attention to your breath,
Noticing each inhale and each exhale.
You can turn your attention to your breath,
Noticing each inhale and each exhale.
You can turn your attention to your breath,
Noticing each inhale and each exhale.
You can turn your attention to your breath,
Noticing each inhale and each exhale.
You can turn your attention to your breath,
Noticing each inhale and each exhale.
You can turn your attention to your breath,
Noticing each inhale and each exhale.
You can turn your attention to your breath,
Noticing each inhale and each exhale.
You can turn your attention to your breath,
Noticing each inhale and each exhale.
You can turn your attention to your breath,
To your breath,
To your breath,
To your breath,
And allow each part of your body to reawaken slowly.
And as you move forward throughout the rest of your day,
You might notice the chatter rising again.
When it happens,
Calmly look at it and with equal ease try to revisit today's affirmation as often as possible.
I practice deep listening and I speak the language of love.
Gently now open your eyes.
Welcome back to your awakened hearts.
Namaste.
