Love & Meditation Go Hand in Hand

Now is the time to meditate. If love and meditation go together, you will have both wings, you will have a balance. Love and meditate, meditate and love, and slowly, slowly you will see a new harmony arising in you. Only that harmony will make you contented.

Thought for the day: “I ground my love through daily meditation.”

The problem with Love is that many people spend so much time looking for it outside of themselves. They don’t meditate. They don’t look within. And when you put two non-meditative people together? All there is is confusion.

Osho said, “Unless meditation is achieved, love will remain a misery.”

We must learn to enjoy our simple existence. If we do not, if we do not learn to meditate, we will continue to look for the problems of our relationship in the other. Our partner, who is a mirror, will only reflect the ugliness we see in ourselves. And instead of blaming ourselves, we blame the one holding the mirror. This is not the way. Meditation is the way. Looking within is the way. Not blaming the other, and not blaming anything at all is the way. Facing the problem, and learning the problem, with awareness, the two of you, is the solution.

“No one is making you look ugly. You are ugly. Sorry, but that’s how it is.”

We cannot blame the other for showing this to us. It is what it is. We mustn’t be angry. We must be grateful for the other, because he/she helps us look and go deeply into your selves. Love shows you who you are, where you are. But we mustn’t forget meditation when we are in love.

Without love, you will become unconscious of your problems because it shows us where we need to work. It shows us what traumas, what triggers, what things need to be healed. What things about ourselves need nurturance. What things about ourselves need to be let go. But this is scary.

This is why people don’t like love. They don’t like the work, rather, the ego doesn’t like to do the work. If you decide to turn your back on love, like Osho says, “Just because the mirror is no longer there, doesn’t mean you don’t have a face.” You will still be ugly. And with each new mirror you find love in, the problem will continue to be reflected back at you, until you decide to finally  settle in and DEAL.

With meditation, with love; meditating with love, and loving with meditation, we can find the necessary harmony to find our beauty again. With both wings attached, we can fly. With both, we find balance and can move past the past, and regain a sense of hope.

“Sometimes the heart full of love is there … but it is like a bud, not like a flower, the petals are closed. This bud can become a flower.” Osho

Meditation: “Allowing the Heart to Open Like a Flower”

Sit in a relaxed position while keeping your spine straight. Take a moment and become aware of your breathing … not to change it, but to become more aware it, of HOW it is happening.

Exhale deeply, pull in your stomach, and throw ALL the air out of your lungs.
When you feel all the air is out, keep it out as long as you can… let it remain out as long as possible. …
And when the air comes rushing back in, feel it opening the petals of the heart.

This simple technique can also be used whenever you want to change your mood – maybe you’re feeling jealous, or annoyed with something at work, or upset by something someone has said to you. Just take a few moments and do this simple technique of throwing all the air out of your lungs … and with it, all the negativity you are feeling. Throw it out. And when the air comes rushing back in, allow the petals of your heart to open.
