All is Full of Love  

   As one engages in spiritual practice over time, one can experience the awareness that everything is made from the same Love that pervades all matter. As you internalize that Love is the foundation of all that is, a sense of pure joy emanates from your being. Other schools of thought say that we are always already enlightened, never have we fallen from this state, there is nothing to enter into or move away from. Simply dropping our stories, our trying, our compensations, and just resting into the center of our center, we can find peace, fulfillment, and joy.

     Just because you may not have experienced an all-pervasive Love connecting us all, or even if you have, we all can experience the benefits of this cosmic Truth. If we can just entertain the idea that all is Love, then that means that all that has ever been is, was and will be, Love. Let that sink in. All that you have ever experienced has been an expression of love. The pain, the trauma, the abandonment, the neglect, all were versions of Love that your soul needed to experience at the time you experienced it.

     The unconscious parts of ourselves are like magnets that attract experiences to heal the wounds inside of us, complete the energetic cycles, and integrate more and more of our being. As we open to life and the love-infused, seemingly painful experiences, we begin to experience Love in its obvious state, as an all-embracing pervading force of Spirit. Lets recap, everything is, has been, and will be completely made of Love. Love sometimes parades around as disease, tragedy, suffering, loss, and other guises to support you in coming to the actual realization that everything is a more obvious version of Love.

If you can, read these next few sentences of a practice or click here for a guided meditation of this practice. (Read this through and then practice) Close your eyes, begin to call to your attention the truth of a yogi's consciousness flowering, that all, that the All is completely made of Love. Ponder how every act, by every being, no matter how unconscious, malicious, and unintentional it may seem, is a version of how Love is expressing itself. In other words, nothing has ever been misplaced in your history. No pain you felt that was unnecessary for your soul's growth, no trauma that was ultimately unjustified, no disappointment that was not your teacher. You have always been held by the divine in a sweet, all-encompassing embrace. Your life's story is an intentionally woven fabric with a unique pattern. You are guided by Love and you are Love itself. Ground this truth into your body by breathing deep into your belly, legs, and heart. Take a few deep breaths and then slowly open your eyes on an inhale and see the world through the eyes of your radiant heart.
