So,
Just to start,
Let's place our hands on our chest.
Okay?
Just quietly placing our hands on our chest.
And also,
When you do it,
You know it's very different if you put your hands above,
In the center,
Or in the bottom of your chest.
It's also very different if you put the right hand first,
Or the left hand first.
Now,
There's no right or wrong here.
You have to find for yourself which hand,
And it's also which position,
Suddenly you feel,
Oh,
That feels good,
I like it.
I feel that I'm nourished by this touch.
I feel love.
Okay,
Just a minute,
Let's hold it like this.
And try to feel the softness that your hands are offering to your being,
To yourself.
If you don't feel this softness,
Maybe you move a bit up,
You move a bit down,
Maybe you change hand,
But this touch that you are touching yourself should be a touch of a loved one to its lover.
Of a mother to a child,
Or a father to a child.
It's the touch of love.
It's the touch that,
As one of you said,
Would like to be touched in this way.
I would like to feel being loved in this way.
That somebody touches me,
It feels so good,
So loving,
So unconditional.
Now,
When you have this feeling in your heart,
The feeling is not in the hands,
The feeling is activated in the heart.
We can relax the hands now.
And just to enhance this feeling,
Let's try to connect to somebody that we know we love.
It can be a person,
It can be a pet,
A dog,
A cat,
A horse,
Or anyone.
It can be even a beautiful place,
A beautiful moment,
Sunset,
Sunrise,
A tree.
Anything or anyone that when you think about this person or this thing,
In that moment,
You feel love.
You feel that your heart becomes soft.
You feel a sense of warmth in your chest.
Now,
How do we know we feel love?
There are a few,
Let's say,
Sensations or signs.
One of them is we feel warmth in the chest.
The other is that we feel some space in our chest.
We feel good in our chest.
Another one that we want to give this love immediately,
We want to share it.
Love cannot stay inside,
It must be shared.
So,
We feel that if it's related to somebody,
We like to hug them.
Love is like a magnet,
It pulls in,
It wants to unite.
So,
We feel that we want to bring this person or this animal close to us and embrace them,
And feel that their heart and our heart is connected.
So,
If you have this feeling that's so beautiful,
How blessed you are.
Stay with this feeling.
So,
For example,
If I'm thinking about my daughter,
How much I love her,
And this initiating,
This sensation of love in my chest.
Now,
I'm letting go of her,
Of the memory of her right now,
And I'm only focusing on the actual sensation that I had when I connected to her.
So,
I want to stay with the sensation and not depend the sensation on the reason why I feel like this.
I want to train my mind to feel love without a connection to somebody.
Okay.
Once we generate this beautiful feeling of love in the center of our chest,
The first one to offer this love is to ourselves,
To our body,
To our mind,
To our being.
So,
Let's visualize that this beautiful love that's been generated in our chest is now shared all over our body,
Like a beautiful balm or the nectar of the gods.
It flows and heals and nourishes each and every part of our body in this warm nourishing feeling of love.
Now,
Let's offer this love to ourselves as children,
Little boys or little girls,
That is living within us,
That quality,
And feel that little boy and little girl that maybe had to force itself or to force itself to receive love in ways that are not necessarily helpful,
Like being very nice or being very bad or being very in different ways,
Is actually receiving love unconditionally right now from us and is resting within this love,
Is comfortable in this love,
Is nourished with this love.
It knows it doesn't need to do anything special to receive it.
Let's continue and use this beautiful energy balm of love if we have any physical discomfort in our body,
Just sending this love to that area to soothe and support and help that area that we suffer from.
It can be muscular or skeletal or it can be like something more chronic that we're dealing with,
Anything.
Beautiful.
And now let's start to expand,
To really acknowledge that we are in love.
For that,
Let's just acknowledge that the air that we breathe is a form of love which life are supporting us,
Are nourishing us.
So pay attention to your breath and feel that that's the way that life loves you.
It gives you life through the breath out of so much love.
So any breath that you're taking in is expression of love that life has to you.
You're loved with every breath.
And now pay attention to the sensation of air on your face,
On your body,
As if life caressing you with love.
With so much gentleness you've been touched with love.
And this love doesn't come only from the surface just around you,
It comes from the whole creation.
You are in the ocean of love.
And then we continue to feel that the clothing that you're wearing are protecting,
Are warming you.
Again,
It's the way that Earth expresses its love to you.
Feel the warmth of your clothes,
The protection,
The comfort.
Then we're shifting to feel the stability that Earth gives us where we're sitting,
Where we're standing,
When we're lying down.
That the Earth is a living being that loves us and nourishes us by giving us safety.
That loves us and nourishes us by giving us safety.
By allowing us to root into it.
And it does it with love.
It keeps us close to it like a mother keeps its son or daughter.
And it nourishes us like a mother feeds its child.
Think about the meals you had today and how nourishing it is.
And again,
Another expression of the Earth's love.
Life love.
And as you're being in that love,
Just again allow yourself to feel that it's the whole creation that is love.
And that love seeps into each and every cell of your existence,
Of your body,
Your atoms and transforms and heals each and every cell into pure love.
Okay,
Now.
Again,
Let's think about somebody that we love.
And from all this sense,
Deep sense of love am I,
Yeah,
That I am love,
I am part of love and I am love.
Yeah,
Just connect so deeply with this person.
Connect so deeply with this person,
Allowing the love just to engulf both of you,
To feel that you're so connected to each other.
And the exchange is so deep between you.
Because you're both love.
And now think about somebody that you just know because maybe you just meet this person in the supermarket when you go shopping.
Or maybe in any office.
So it's somebody you know,
Or maybe at work,
But you don't know this person very well.
But somebody that you know,
But you don't have any special relationship with.
And just connect to this person and see if you can maintain this sense of love also with that person as you did with the person that you know you love.
And please understand that love is not yours.
You're lucky to feel it and to share it.
So it's completely unconditional.
You're so blessed to have a heart that can sense love and experience this most beautiful feeling.
And because of that,
You can share it with everybody.
So let's share it with that person that we know,
But we don't really know.
And see if you can feel that you can love each other.
And again,
Don't get confused.
It means that you need to do anything else with this person if you have a deep love,
If you feel deep love.
It's nothing.
It's just deep connection and that's it.
Wonderful.
And now let's think about somebody that we have conflict with.
It can be a family member or it can be someone else.
That when we are connecting to this person,
What comes is the conflict.
And then it's difficult to feel the love.
So again,
Here the trick is to bring yourself to engage with this person as love itself,
Not as you,
The person,
The ego identity.
Just be with that person as love,
From love.
And just be there.
Invite them to feel the same.
That's all.
Don't bring all the story you have with that person to disturb the beautiful flow of love between you and the other person that you have conflict with.
Beautiful.
And then let's go back into our body or into our being.
It's not necessarily the body.
And let's offer love to any struggle that we're dealing with.
Any struggle that pushes us out of center,
That makes us suffer.
That again and again we feel that it's not contributing.
On the contrary,
It takes energy.
It takes energy.
And just offer love to that tendency so it can relax,
But not be so harsh and harmful.
If a certain negative thought keeps on coming or a certain addiction or a certain deed that you know that you should not do but you do it again.
Whatever comes to you.
Just be with that tendency as love,
From love.
Embrace it,
Not fighting with it.
Let it relax inside you.
And just project to the future saying that when those tendencies will come again to disturb your peace,
Your silence,
Your well-being.
Again you connect first to love and then you connect to those tendencies.
So you don't fight them,
You love them.
And then they'll lose their potency and be easy to deal with.
Okay.
Thank you very much.
And then let's take a minute to share anything you want about this meditation.
If you want to share your experiences or if you have any thoughts or insights that we can all benefit from.
That will be very very good and welcome.
Okay.
So just take a minute to come back.
Actually I don't like this expression to come back because we don't come back from love.
We have to stay in love as much as possible.
So we don't come back.
Okay.
Adios.
Bye bye bye.
