Hello, this is Jacob Winkler I want to share with your today a meditation
of receiving love. I read a very beautiful blog post by a friend
of a friend on Facebook. He wrote about how he has often felt as though
he has to earn people's love and it was difficult to receive it --to just to allow people to
love him and know that he is loved. So, in gratitude and inspiration for this
person's courage and journey, I want to invite you to raise your hands and I often encourage
you to raise your hands as Doctor Hawkins has instructed, palms outwards, and think
of someone who we know, who may have trouble or difficulty knowing they are loved.
It could be someone who you know very well; someone who you love very much, who, for whatever
reason, you don't think that they really get that they are truly loved so much.
So let's just imagine this person, this friend, family member, who truly is loved, at least
by you or many of us. Just imagine them feeling that peace, knowing
that they are loved for who they are, warts and all, mistakes and all. They are loved
for who they are; their hopes and dreams that they believe in and regardless of what they
believe in. Just allow this feeling of love to flow from your heart to this person and
imagine them in your mind smiling and peaceful, and able to really breath easily, knowing
that they are loved, by you, by others, by God, by life.
Now turn your hands so the palms are towards you and open. The palms can be upwards to
the sky and take a deep breath and allow yourself to feel, with each breath, as if God, or life or the universe is giving
this breath to you. As if god is planting lips upon your lips
and blowing breath into your mouth offering you perfume before your nose and scents. Feel
your heart beating. Feel the clothing that you are wearing and allow yourself to revel
and bask in the incredible love that existence itself is for you. The greatest love there
is, is the gift of existence, the gift of life.
And now turn your hands again and send to this person, who has difficulty knowing that
they are loved, send them the gratitude for every breath, the sense of perfection in this
moment, the sense of the amazing awesomeness of this gift of life that we all share, every
moment, a miracle. Extend your vision to all the people of the
world that they should all know that they are loved completely and perfectly for who
they are and be able to accept and receive that love and know it and allow it. They should
be able to take a deep breath and give thanks for the gift of life from the source by whatever
name. May we all be blessed with the knowledge that
we are loved and may we all give thanks for the gift of existence and life.
Thank you so much
