Welcome.

Let us begin by taking a deep breath in and exhaling with a sigh and taking another deep breath in and exhaling with a sigh and another breath in and exhaling with a sigh such that with every moment that passes we become more and more present.

Let us become aware of the breath and how it moves,

How the breath moves us.

And with every moment that passes let us become more and more open,

More and more willing,

Willing to explore ourselves,

Willing to face ourselves,

And willing to find the courage to face ourselves.

Amidst whatever is happening on the planet right now in this moment,

Let us discover love.

Now to do this we'll need to discover the presence of our own heart.

So with every breath let us welcome the presence of our heart.

For some of us we might visualize this heart as a golden sun in our chest.

For some of us we might experience a warmth in our chest.

However we choose to engage the heart,

Let us bring the quality of openness and curiosity as love finds itself expressed through our own heart.

With every breath we open to the love that is expressed naturally through the heart as light,

Rays of a sun,

As warmth,

The feeling of being loved or the feeling of loving.

Some of us may even experience the heart as a knowingness of love of who we are.

Everything in existence,

In our experience and in existence on this planet is either love-based or fear-based.

Joy,

Peace,

Tranquility are all qualities that are love-based.

Trepidation,

Worry,

Anxiety,

Sadness,

Depression are all qualities that are fear-based and there's nothing wrong with any of them.

We simply look to see which experiences expand us and which contract us and we get to choose.

So clearly today we'll focus on love.

How do we choose love every day?

How do we open to the power of love every day?

How do we let love inform how we see the world every day?

One way is through the experience of the heart right now.

So with every breath allow our heart to expand,

Allow our heart to be full and we can see this through a shining sun or a knowingness of who we are as love.

With every breath we foster this experience of love as who we are shining through our personality.

Maybe there are aspects of our personality that we don't like,

That we want to change or transform.

All of these qualities are fear-based.

We may react towards others too harshly.

We may not speak up for ourselves when we should.

We might make decisions that are unconscious and frustrating to us.

All of these qualities are based in fear,

Which is okay.

We simply shine the light of love onto those qualities and focus on the heart.

With every breath we open ourselves to these qualities of the heart that shine through the personality.

The more conscious that we become the greater our ability to function from the heart.

So in any moment we can take a deep breath,

Welcome the presence of our heart as love and act.

With every moment of awareness we become more conscious and through our consciousness we become able to act from the heart.

We become able to act in a love-based fashion.

And so right now let us build the inferno that is the Sun in our chest and let us see ourselves and experience ourselves as confident.

Confident in our ability to make conscious decisions based in love.

Maybe there's a way that we wish to serve that we have not enacted.

Maybe there's someone that we wish to care for differently that we have not enacted.

Maybe there's a way that we can treat ourselves with more care that we have not implemented.

And from the aspect of love as curiosity let us open.

Let us open to that love expressed in its purity from within us.

Let us see the rays of light from the Sun within our chest.

Let us experience the experience of being loved.

Let us be open to being loved.

Open to being cared for.

Open to being nurtured.

Let us open to love from the outside and let us open to love being expressed from the inside.

Such that we start to experience love everywhere.

We choose love.

I choose love in my relationships.

I choose love in my career.

I choose love in my relationship with my body.

I choose love in all of the relationships in my life from strangers to loved ones.

These qualities of love like gratitude,

Joy,

Peace,

Acceptance,

The love of certainty,

The love in confidence,

The love in the silent care of holding someone's hand when they least expect it,

The love of buying someone a meal when they never would have thought,

The love of allowing someone to drive in front of us,

The love of spontaneity,

And the love that comes in the present moment like now.

With every breath we open to that love expressed from within us and received from outside of us as this love is our birthright.

We are that love.

And from this place of love we are grateful.

Grateful for everything.
