The
Awakened Heart
|
“Love is a self-sacrifice.
Love is the experience within one's self of one's own selflessness;
that's why love is God. No one can explain love, because love
is ecstacy. Love is the essence of an ever-longing devotion. Love
does not change. If love changes, it is not love.”
- Yogi Bhajan
Dear Awareness Center Family,
It keeps coming to my attention that we must awaken to the higher
consciousness of the heart center. Without the qualities of love,
devotion and compassion, life has a meaningless quality and nothing
seems to flow easily. Love is the inspiring force that motivates
us into positive action in our spiritual practice, relationships,
family and work.
So why is it that love seems to take us on a roller-coaster ride?
We careen into the valleys of fear and doubt, we rise to the heights
of bliss and elation, only getting a chance to enjoy the view
on the plateau of loves rewards. It takes an awakened heart to
neutralize all of the ups and downs - to see positive and negative
and bring an unconditioned acceptance to all. I believe that this
is what we are working toward, not only to awaken the heart but
to stay awake in every moment. A life-time journey of living in
love.
Try a couple new things this month that make your heart sing.
Take a morning sun walk, try a new yoga class or workshop, write
affirmations on post-it notes around your house, say five things
each day that you love about yourself, find a small way to share
love with someone else who needs it.
Come by the center for a hug and a cup of tea - we are here for
you.
Sat Nam,
Wahe Guru Kaur and “Team Awareness” (AC Staff and
Teachers)
