Relaxing and Letting Go

The most important part about learning to open your heart, filling yourself with Love and sending Love, is learning to completely relax and let go of all other thoughts. It's very important during any of the following exercises that you stay focused and leave all other thoughts alone. If you find yourself drifting off, simply bring yourself back and continue. With a little practice and time, you will find it becomes easier each time. Unless you have had some practice with meditation or relaxing exercises, it's probably best that you either lie or sit down somewhere quiet where you will not be disturbed and spend a few moments clearing your mind and totally relaxing your body. With practice you will be able to open your heart and send Love virtually anywhere and anytime, because you will be able to relax your body and instantly clear your mind and focus on your heart.There's a certain feeling that comes when you open your heart. This is difficult to learn if you do not start off learning it in a quiet and peaceful environment. This is because when your body is totally relaxed and your mind is clear and calm, there is a certain inner sensory perception. This is important because that is where you will find the feelings associated with opening your heart. Even though I am able to send Love virtually anywhere, like while riding a bus or driving in a car, I still spend 15 to 20 minutes each day where I lie down and totally focus on opening my heart and radiating Love. This seems to dramatically increase my ability every time.There are many books on the market about relaxing and calming the mind so I won't go into it in too much detail. If you find it is easier for you to relax by listening to perhaps a meditation tape or some very relaxing and soothing music, that seems to work very well and it won't interfere with your ability to open your heart.Here's what I do whether I'm lying down or sitting. First I totally relax my body by making sure every muscle in my body is relaxed, even my face muscles. I do this by pretending that I'm going to sleep and I tell my body that we are going to have a nap. I let my body go to sleep while I clear my mind of all thoughts. The way I clear my mind is much the same way as the instructions for moving forward in time. I imagine that my mind is connected to the larger part of me. It doesn't matter what you call this part, just connect to it and let all your concerns and other thoughts slip away. I do this by what I call inner listening. I put all my focus and attention on hearing that larger part of myself. After that it's just a matter of focusing my mind on opening my heart and sending Love, whatever it is I choose to do.If you have a serious problem with keeping your mind from drifting with various thoughts that keep coming up, I imagine an extremely bright beam of light coming down into the top of my head. It reaches directly into the middle of my brain, and then expands from there. This seems to completely clear out all other thoughts.For maximum results, your body needs to be totally relaxed and even asleep, and your mind needs to be clear of everything except that which you want to achieve. After a bit of practice you will be able to open your heart and send Love anytime, but I have found in the long run that I get maximum results when I lie down and let my body go to sleep while my mind stays awake but focused.So there it is. It's simple. Sometimes people tell me that they don't have an extra twenty minutes a day for this. I can understand that because they seem to be spending most of their day trying to straighten out all the crap that seems to happen to them. I wonder why so much crap happens to them while my days go by like a lucky charm? Maybe it's that twenty minutes I spend every day sending Love. What do you think?
