I Hold You in My Heart

 Happy Valentine’s Day!!

How is your heart today?  Is it open and spacious, fully extending love out to all of the world on this Valentine’s Day?  Is it bright and expansive and vibrating radiantly?  Is it full of gratitude for all that this day, this life is gifting you with?  Are you trusting your heart’s wisdom?

If you are having difficulty opening your heart for some reason, a great little powerful meditation called “Metta” or “Loving Kindness” meditation will help soften the wall around your heart and allow it to open.  It only takes a few moments, so if you are willing, find a quiet spot and sit in a comfortable position.  Take a few deep breaths and once you are settled and still, say to yourself, “May I be at peace.  May my heart open.  May I awaken to the light of my own true nature.  May I be healed and may I be source of healing for others.”  You can repeat this as often as you like until you feel your chest opening and your heart warming and melting.

When you are finished you will feel lighter, more at peace.  Then you can say a “Metta” meditation for others.  Do the same as above, but instead say, “May you be at peace.  May your heart open.  May you awaken to the light of you own true nature.  May you be healed and by that healing may you be a source of healing to others.”

What a beautiful way to open up and extend your love to yourself and the world on this Valentine’s Day and every day!  Remember that all the love you ever need is right inside your own heart.  All you have to do is remember.

I hold you in my heart…

Your Valentine
