Hello and welcome to this guided session.
When we are born,
We are filled with a love which seems so simple,
Easy and unconditional.
As we grow up,
This love gets veiled by conditions and expectations.
Love which is unconditional and simple becomes conditional and difficult and often painful.
We can unlearn this condition and return to our natural state of unconditional love.
The first part of the guidance is for self-love and the second part is for loving another unconditionally.
Please choose someone that you have a fairly healthy relationship with.
If you have difficulty in any relationship,
It is better to work on the healing before you can extend unconditional love to this person.
Love with no conditions does not mean that we cannot improve or change.
The difference is the improvement or change happens from love rather than from judgment.
Along with meditations,
It's also important to heal our past wounds so that we can rediscover that unconditional love is our natural state.
Please note unconditional love towards another does not mean that we need to accept violent,
Unkind or abusive behaviour.
Let us begin.
Sit comfortably,
Close your eyes.
With your eyes closed,
Become aware of that open,
Spacious awareness.
You have a form identity which is time-bound and a formless identity which is eternal.
This formless identity can be easily recognised by watching the space that you experience with your eyes closed.
This open spaciousness is your true self.
In this open spaciousness,
Bring in the image of your form self.
Your form self surrounded by your formless spiritual self.
Drop the entire past,
Drop the entire future and see your form self with fresh eyes like you're seeing for the first time.
Drop all opinions,
Drop all judgments,
Drop all blame,
Drop all praise,
Drop all regrets of the past and all expectations of the future.
Allow your form self to just be.
Notice how the spiritual self,
The spacious self,
Is the body of the mind.
Notice how the true self is holding the form self with love,
Care and tenderness.
Notice the spaciousness around the form self.
Your true self,
Your spiritual self,
Your divine creator,
Loves you just the way you are.
Keep noticing your form self,
Embraced in this beautiful space of divine love.
The time aspect is now stripped away.
See yourself with the eyes of the now,
Eyes of tenderness,
Eyes of kindness,
Eyes of softness.
The divine loves you just the way you are and you can love yourself just the way you are.
Now drop the image of your form self and imagine the other person,
The image of the other person in the true self.
The true self of you and the other person is the one true self,
The divine creator.
Can you now see this person with new eyes?
Drop the entire past,
Drop the entire future.
Drop all past regrets,
Judgments and drop all future expectations.
The time element is now stripped away.
Can you see this person with new eyes?
With openness?
Dropping the past,
Dropping the future,
Just allowing this person to be.
The one true self of this person loves this person just the way they are.
Notice how the spaciousness of the true self holds this person with love,
Care,
Tenderness.
Can you drop all expectations from this person and let this person be?
Allowing everything and everyone in our life to be is the nature of our spiritual self.
It is the ego self which is always fighting life and its nature is to oppose life.
It holds on to the blame of the past and expectations of the future and veils the love that is present here and now.
This way of holding yourself and the other is a way of tuning in to the unconditional love of our heart.
It is very very natural.
This love heals you,
It heals the other and heals the relationship.
As you keep practicing this,
Unconditional love will become more easy and natural.
I wish you love,
Peace and happiness.
Thank you.
