Simple, though strange!

The only thing you have to do is: imagine yourself as headless! It is not funny; this is a tough technique. Walk, sit down, feel as if you are headless. Feel that your head has disappeared. All your focus is now on your heart. In the beginning it will be just a pretence; you will feel weird and disoriented.

What happens to all my sense-organs? How will I see, hear, speak?, you will ask. Your sense-organs have not disappeared – they have simply slipped into your heart region! Just like how blind men use their hands to ‘see’, you will be using your heart. You will be seeing with your heart, from your heart.

Try it. You can do it. Stand before a mirror and look deeply into your eyes. Feel as if you are looking from your heart. Feel that you are smelling through your heart. Feel very clearly that you are breathing through the heart.

Listen through the heart, see through the heart and feel through the heart. When you move, remember that you are moving from the heart. Your center is the heart, not the head. Again and again, forget the head. Allow every act to be controlled by the heart.

INSTRUCTIONS

By and by, you will feel the heart center flowering, actually flowering.

You will feel a blossoming inside. And then you will feel the onrush of love. You will find your every act becoming more loving.

That is why, when someone is in love, we say - he has lost his head! When you are flowing with love, when your heart center is overflowing, you actually lose your head. Your actions are no longer controlled by the head.

There is no specific duration for this meditation. Just do it whenever you feel compelled to. And you will keep feeling compelled.

As you keep practising this meditation, you will find yourself growing more and more loving.

Your relationships will improve dramatically. You start perceiving the harmony in the world. You move a step closer to God.

Love and expand

ABOUT THE TECHNIQUE

Nobody needs to be taught how to love! Love is the most intimate experience of your being. We always feel that we are not loving enough, that we don't have enough love inside us.

No! You have enough love inside to shower upon the whole world. Your very being is Love.

But we have channeled our love into very narrow channels. We choose the people we should love. We never allow our love to flow towards the whole world. When you choose, it means that you are loving for a reason. As long as you are running on greed or fear, you cannot experience the joy of causeless love.

If you can enter into even one relationship of causeless love, you can expand your love to the world. That one relationship can become your doorway to experiencing universal love.

INSTRUCTIONS

DURATION: 21 minutes

Step 1: Sit comfortably with your eyes closed. Bring to your mind the deepest love you have experienced. Remember any relationship of causeless love. Everyone must have had this experience at least once, at least with your mother, your child, a friend or beloved, or your master. Remember that person or that experience intensely. Bring the same memory, that same feeling into your inner space. Just feel yourself flowing in love towards that person.

Step 2: Now, put aside the person, the particular memory. Just enter into the experience of love itself. Enter into the same space you experienced when you were in love, when you were deeply connected.

Enter deeply into the emotion of love. Let your inner space be completely filled with love. Let you become a pool of love!

DURATION: 21 minutes

Step 3: Now, release this love from your heart. Turn your love upon the whole world. Let the pool of love become an ocean. Just experience the love flowing endlessly from you - to your friends, to your enemies, to strangers. Let it flow out to nature, to the earth, to the stars.

Let the world be enveloped in your love.

You will see, your love can expand infinitely - because it flows from you, and you are infinite.

When your love is based on the object, the person, it is narrow. It cannot be shared.

When you shift your attention from the person to the experience of love itself, your love becomes vast and deep. When your love is turned towards every being, naturally, it will turn you towards your own self.
