INTRODUCTION:
Love is being in the flow with Existence, to be totally with it. Ego is like frozen ice. Love is like liquid water. Only when we are liquid do we become part of the ocean. Then we don't have any private goal or destination. Each moment is blissful, incredibly ecstatic, just going with the plan of the cosmos. The mind is part of the ego. It knows how to close, but it does not know how to open. To love means to open up, to surrender. It means opening up to Existence, to the flowers, to the bees and to the stars. How do we open to this beautiful music that fills the whole of Existence? How do we open up to this celebration that goes on and on – flowers dancing in the wind, trees enjoying the wind and the stars, always in a state of bliss? Except for man, everything else seems to be in harmony. Man falls out of harmony because he has what is called ‘consciousness’ which is not present in other living creatures.
Consciousness can do two things. It can create ego or it can create egolessness. If it creates ego, we live in hell. If it creates egolessness, we live in paradise. The whole world is in paradise without knowing it. When man enters paradise, he enters knowing it fully. That is the grandeur and beauty of man. That is the danger as well, because it is easier to fall into the trap of the ego and not enter into paradise than to enter paradise knowingly. The problem is that we have forgotten who we are and for what we were created. We are emperors of love, but we dream that we are beggars.
We have the whole kingdom of Existence within our being and yet we continue to beg for mundane things. We keep collecting mundane things not knowing that we have infinite, inexhaustible treasures within our being.
We are oceans, yet we are thirsty because we have become disconnected from our own selves. But no matter how disconnected we are, no matter how much we have forgotten and how long we have forgotten, it can be remembered in a single moment and we can become connected immediately. Love is the connector
GOALS:
Make them aware that love is a caring, healing energy; that real love can heal.
ASSESSMENT:
- What is living in conflict?
- When can we live happily in our inner space?
- How do you feel when someone is caring about you?
- What do you feel when you express love?
- What kind of energy is love?
- Can your actions speak love?
- Can you heal when you express real love?
CONCLUSION:
So whenever you express love, you
express energy also. Love is a
concentrated, caring energy. So
naturally, when you express real love
you become a channel for healing
energy. When you are a channel for
energy you not only heal others but
heal yourself as well. When we become
love our actions will speak love.
ART OF THE DAY -
CELEBRATION DRAWING
Explanation:
This is a fun activity to show the class the concept of unity. Unity connects and with love and unity, we can connect and share with the whole world.
Materials required:
Earbuds. Paint (different colours) Paper.
Presentation:
- Talk about the meaning of unity. Unity is oneness, we are all part of this universe, and when we work as a team, with love and unity, we can be blissful.
- Demonstrate how unity connects with a plain paper and a bud dipped in paint. Draw a shape of a heart using dots. Each of the dots represents each one of us. Then with a different colour, you can connect the dots creating a beautiful pattern. The connection of the dots represents the love in us. Love connects us in unity. It completes us.
- Give each child a paper, and ask them to make a design with the concept of unity in mind (e.g. heart, circle, flower etc.)
- Ask them to present their pictures and explain what it represents and they can write about it at the bottom of the page.
Conclusion:
Sometimes we forget that we are a part of this universe. When we remember that we are all one, we will be united.
ACTIVITY - LOVE MEDITATION
Explanation:
This is a lovely activity to do in a group, a meditation that all can enjoy about love.
Material required:
Instrumental music (optional)
Presentation:
- Gather the class and explain what we are about to do, ask them to close their eyes and picture themselves as love, pure liquid love overflowing to every part of their bodies.
- When they have their eyes closed you can give them soft instructions while the music is playing quietly in the background. "Focus on your heart region. Exclude everything else. Focus only on the heart". "Visualize your heart as an endless reservoir from where blessings can flow". "Feel every heartbeat deeply. Let every beat resound throughout you". “Between the heartbeats, feel the energy of love happening". “In the deepest parts of your body, mind and soul, the love energy is waiting to be acknowledged." "Invite the love energy of the heart to flow and fill these deepest parts of your body, mind and soul”.
- Slowly tell them to open their eyes.
Discussion:
Continue with the discussion about how we can express love. Expand on this: 'When we become love our actions will speak love.' What kind of actions can we do to express our love? Practise expressing love by using words which will express love. For example: Discuss what kind of words we will use, what kind of voice.
Conclusion:
This meditation helps them to focus and even become love; they should carry this with them. The more effort they put into this meditation, the more they get from it.
