Meditating For Love

As human beings, we all want love. We often say that we need food,
shelter and clothing to survive, but love is also a necessity. Human
beings are social animals and can become depressed if they are left
alone.

Remember the film “Castaway” starring Tom Hanks? He puts a
face on a ball and names it so that he can have “company” as he is
shipwrecked on a deserted island. He does this in order to keep from
falling apart. As a human being, he needs companionship. There are
very few people who are comfortable being lonely.

If you want love, the only thing you need to do is ask for it. It is
plentiful in the universe. You need to be able to open up your heart so
that you can receive love, however.

This is easier said than done. Most of us have closed our hearts,
especially when we are adults. We have been hurt once too often and
are afraid of getting hurt again. So we shut down our hearts and reject
any chance of allowing love into our lives.



Do you know someone who habitually has bad relationships? They
are constantly going out with people who are unavailable, either
emotionally or physically, are abusive or have a substance abuse
problem? This is not an accident that they are finding these type
of people. They are actively seeking out these sort of troubled
relationships. This is because they feel that they do not deserve
the happiness and love that is there waiting for them. Instead, they choose to look for misery.

Everyone deserves to love and be loved. And it is easy to do, too. All
you have to do is open up your heart and ask for love and the universe
shall provide it for you.
To meditate to get love, you need to be able to use all of your senses
during your meditation practice. Do as follows:

1. Sit in a comfortable and relaxed position. For this technique, you
can even lay down. You want to be as comfortable as possible when
you look for love. Close you eyes.

2. Tell your body and mind that you want no distractions. That you are
to be free from any interference. Actually say this out loud to both your
body and your mind. Now start concentrating in your mind’s eye.
3. Begin breathing with the usual technique - in through the mouth, out
through the nose. With each breath that you breathe in, feel that you
are bringing in love.

4. Visualize the love that you are bringing into your body and put it in
your heart. Store the love in your body and do not allow it to escape.
Allow it to float all through your body.

5. Visualize the love in your body running through your blood stream
and coursing in your veins. Feel it moving within you, through ever
fiber of your being. Feel the love completely saturate you from head to
toe.

6. As you breath out, picture that you are releasing love into the world.
You are breathing it in and releasing some out again, while storing love
throughout your body. Visualize yourself being surrounded and bathed
in love.

Practice this technique for about 20 minutes. You will feel refreshed
when you are finished. Love is there for the taking, you just have to be
receptive enough to receive it.

By receiving love, you will have a different outlook on life. You will
appear more confident to other people and there will be an aura of love
around you that will attract others. Meditating to receive love is one of
the most relaxing and simplest of meditating techniques and it really
does work.

The laws of attraction dictate that like attracts like. If you continue to
bathe yourself in negative energy, you will receive negative responses
in return. If, however, you choose to bathe yourself in love and positive
energy, you will attract the same.

If you have someone who you love and want to draw them to you,
picture them in your mind’s eyes as you are meditating. Picture them
loving you, caressing you, and being with you. Picture yourself loving
them. You will be asking the universe to draw this person closer to you
and the universe will respond, if you are receptive.

Love is something that no one should be without. There is too much of
an abundance of love in the universe for anyone to be deprived of this
bliss. You need only ask and you can mediate your way to love.
