"The beauty of the heart
is the lasting beauty:
its lips give to drink
of the water of life.
Truly it is the water,
that which pours,
and the one who drinks.
All three become one when
your talisman is shattered.
That oneness you can't know
by reasoning."
~Mathnawi II, 716-718
Love is the binding cement that holds us together, driving us
to our greatest accomplishments, allowing us to be our best,
transcending the ego to reach others, making us see the beauty in
each aspect of our lives.
Love is not just about romance and intimate relations with
another. It is about being in the present, opening your heart to
others unconditionally for the little moments of your life. Love
is the force behind your nice words to the cashier at the grocery
store, your greetings to your neighbor, your assistance to help
a colleague finish a last minute project. At every instant of your
life, you have the opportunity to experience love in its profoundness,
grace, and humanity.
Are you looking to experience love primarily in a friendship or
relationship? Love is even more than that, better than that. It
is here, now, everywhere, and within your grasp at each moment.
Just open your heart and let it pour out without restriction. Receive
and give to others on any occasion. Feel the real union between
you and others, between you and your higher self. It may last just
seconds. But seconds can sometimes be an eternity.
Start today. Take a good look at your surroundings. Smile at
yourself and others, see the beauty in each individual or
situation, help others, say nice words. But foremost, visualize
each word or action pouring from your heart and radiating out to
others. By doing so routinely, you open yourself to better
relationships and other pleasurable moments. Your life becomes meaningful,
worth living. You become less demanding because you know you can
experience love whenever you want.
The following aromatic blend will help you embrace the love
around you. Anoint your heart chakra in the morning and evening.
Pour a few drops of the blend into your bathtub and soak for at
least 15 minutes. Breathe it in deeply and visualize your heart
chakra expanding and filling your aura, and your entire being filling
with a hot pink color. Or pour just a few drops into the palms of
your hands and breathe it in during the day.
In a 10 ml bottle, pour the essential oils first and then add
an organic vegetable oil:
· 3 drops of Rose
· 5 drops of Jasmine
· 9 drops of Sandalwood
