Welcome.
This is a practice to help with the connection to the heart center.
The heart center is the place in which we mostly feel the emotions of love and gratitude and it's also the place from which we radiate those emotions towards the outside world.
These two frequencies of love and gratitude are very powerful and can really transform our lives but our relationships with other people as well.
We usually feel love as in a universal way when it's towards others or animals,
Nature or even the universe and we might also experience it as a personal love which is the love towards ourselves but because we are also a part of this universe it's still a universal love because love it's all the same.
When you're ready lie down or sit in a comfortable to you position.
Close your eyes and take a deep breath in and on the exhale let your body relax in this moment.
Take another deep breath and when you breathe out feel your muscles softening and surrendering.
Let your body just relax and let go.
Now bring to your awareness a person,
A pet or any other being that you feel love with.
Bring a person or a being who for you represents deep love and great opening of love that you have experienced with them in the past.
Bring to your awareness all of the emotions that you felt with them.
Remember all the love and gratitude and maybe the complete acceptance that you have felt in their presence.
Immerse yourself in this feeling of love and everything that it brings alongside.
Now allow their image to slowly fade away from your mind while you keep these same emotions of opening and love and gratitude and bring to mind a person that is currently in your life and allow yourself to feel the exact same sensations and emotions that you kept with you from the previous person.
Feel them now for this new one you brought in your awareness and let yourself experience the same emotions.
Now let this person to fade away as well while you still keep the same emotions of love and bring to your awareness your own self.
Feel the same love and the same acceptance for yourself.
Feel gratitude towards your body for everything that it does for you.
And feel the acceptance towards yourself for everything that you do.
Let the love surround your body and your heart.
Feel compassion towards yourself and let your heart expand with love.
If it felt any different in comparison to the beings you thought of before,
Know that you are no different and you are just as deserving of love as they are.
Now bring to your awareness a person towards whom you might be experiencing difficulties in feeling love with.
Maybe you experience more difficulty to open up with them and let yourself feel this love but while keeping all these emotions of gratitude and love that you felt before,
Let yourself to feel the same emotions and the same opening towards this person.
Can you accept them as they are?
Can you send them love?
Now let this person fade away from your mind as well and bring to your awareness your own idea of a higher consciousness.
It can be in any way that you feel comfortable with,
Whether this is the universe or a white light or anything that represents a higher consciousness to you.
And let yourself feel the same opening of love towards this universal energy.
Feel your heart expanding and feel yourself with gratitude.
Now open your heart to receive a flow of love and a flow of light from this universal energy.
Let this light surround you and feel all of your being,
All of your presence to the very cells of your being.
Let this light surround you with your own light.
Make this connection with you and know that all of these emotions of love and gratitude that you experience today,
Whether it was for others or yourself,
You were the one who created them.
They came from you.
The difference might be that according to who you have in front of you,
You can just reflect these emotions and with some people or beings it is easier to tap into certain emotions and with some others it's more difficult but still we're always the ones who are deciding to let this opening take place and when to close it.
So all this energy and frequency of love and gratitude is coming from us and then we radiate it to the outside world.
When you're ready bring your attention back to the room and start moving your body and when you're ready open your eyes.
Know that you can return to this meditation anytime you feel like cultivating this connection with these emotions even more and the more you practice the more easier it will be to tap into them and to let yourself open up even more to your own experience of these emotions.
Have a good day.
