Love

Welcome to the mystery of love

A moment together to consider love's magical mystery

Love is a mystery, ever flowing, ever present

From an unknown source, returning to an unknown source

These are words from Albert Einstein

The most beautiful experience we can have is a fundamental emotion

The mysterious love, an extremely powerful and universal force

Love is light that enlightens those who give and receive it

Love is gravity because it makes some people feel attracted to others

Love is power because it multiplies the best we have

And allows humanity not to be extinguished by its selfishness

Love unfolds and reveals

For love, we live and die

Love is God, and God is love

It has always defied formal explanation

As it includes and governs all other forces

It is behind any phenomenon operating in the universe

Individually, each of us carries inside a powerful generator of love

Whose energy is constant, much like the breath

To connect with this energy of love, to feel its power, to rest in its mystery

Become aware of your own breathing pattern now

This easy rhythm sustains you every second of every day

The in breath brings in the air around us

As if we are inhaling Mother Earth's exhale

The out breath releases the air

As if Mother Earth is inhaling our exhale

The in breath brings in the air around us

As if we are inhaling Mother Earth's exhale

The out breath releases the air

As if Mother Earth is inhaling our exhale

Through breathing, we are connected to this physical planet

In wondrous and empowering ways

This loving exchange with nature happens naturally, effortlessly

From the moment of birth through each and every thought, emotion, and activity

Rest now, in this moment of flowing mysterious exchange

Now turn your focus inward and feel what happens

In your own body with each breath

As you are inhaling, feel the richness and fullness of receiving

How each cell of the body receives the mystery

This lovingness from an unlimited source

Then, as you are exhaling, feel the release of this loving power

Penetrate into the space between the cells

There is no control of this penetration, no direction

Only willingness, surrender, trust

This exchange just happens

This exchange is a flow which sustains and nurtures every part of us

Physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually

Lovingly, a living mystery

Nobody knows what love really is, or how it came to be

Nor how breathing really is, or how it came to be

Mysteries

Yet as long as we go on simply feeling

The expression of this mystery, we feel free and full and happy

And when we feel free and full and happy to others

The breath is love manifest

Breathing is loving, a magical mystery

If we remember every day to feel this mystery

Through awareness of the breath flow

And if we remember to be the mystery itself

Then we will be happy everyday

Namaste
