Accessing The Divine Love Within

It is the colour of the heart chakra, anahata. You breathe it in to awaken the heart, then breathe it out so it expands around you. It then travels from your heart through your neck, arms, hands, torso, legs and feet, and back to your heart, until you picture yourself floating in a green, protective glow.

Zeeba explains that anahata means unstruck, unhurt, unbeaten in Sanskrit. It is described as your space of unconditional love, compassion and forgiveness, and as a gateway linking the three lower chakras to the three higher ones. That is why the meditation centres on it.

The track returns to this verse as it introduces the heart, noting that our wounds are often held there. The idea is that the tender places in you are also where love can come in. It invites you to approach old hurt with openness rather than avoidance.

With your hand on your heart, you ask it silently several times. You are asked not to answer from the intellect or conditioned self. Sometimes an answer comes and sometimes none does, and you simply listen for what Rumi calls a voice that doesn't use words.

You imagine a vast temple big enough for millions, filled with the loving energy that everyone present has created. Later you sense the emerald lights of others to your left, right, above and below, weaving into yours and making it stronger. It gives a feeling of shared support.

You choose something you can influence, whether for today, this month or this year. Let it take shape, send it from your head down into your heart, and plant it like a seed on an inhale. On the exhale you offer it to the universe and trust it is received.
