Unconditional love - to love others regardless of their behavior towards you. This includes yourself.
This week in Yoga classes the theme has been the 'anahata' or Heart Chakra. Anahata means literally 'unstruck sound'. They say we can receive inspiration in our
mind and our heart. I challenged the students to listen more with their heart since it often gets neglected, not giving it enough attention. The heart speaks softly, as an 'unstruck sound'. The heart chakra houses 'nada', translated 'the pulse of life'. For an organs that dictates our ability to live, couldn't we benefit from listening to it more.
This leads me to taking my own challenge and listening to what my heart is telling me. My heart yearns to express my love to those I have had the opportunity to care most deeply for, those I only wish to someday love unconditionally...
Disclaimer: I recognize the immensity of the task to list each person with which I have come in contact and with whom I desire to love unconditionally, but I will listen to my heart and mind to recall just a few.

ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of a lovely pink quartz I was given by the most lovely of women to warm my heart chakra! :)
Thank you!
Lately, my heart has had lots of attention. And I believe it's been reminding me considerably to pay attention to it. There is so much beauty and power within us. Thank goodness we have the ability to let go and watch it work!
Love to you!!!
That was beautiful.
