AWA Description H<\/a><\/span><\/p>\nLove, which created me, is what I am.<\/strong><\/p>\nIn her original Gentle Healing Year 1 tip for Lesson 229, Regina wrote, “Today, while observing awareness presence in meditation, notice it is love.\u00a0 Notice it is incapable of being anything but love.\u00a0 It has no judgement in it, no comparison, and no resistance.\u00a0 Also, notice it is what you are.\u00a0 This means, of course, that you are love.”<\/p>\n
After I read this I thought, ‘What?’\u00a0 I have never experienced Love in my awareness watching awareness meditation!\u00a0 Am I doing it wrong? I have noticed the lack of judgement.\u00a0 I have felt gratitude and even peace, but I don’t remember experiencing love, per se.<\/p>\n
I called Jacquelyn.\u00a0 I asked if she thought I was doing the awareness-watching-awareness meditation wrong?\u00a0 I have not had the experience of Love in my meditation!\u00a0 Jacquelyn asked about my experience.\u00a0 In my meditation, I noticed that there was an awareness that saw my body as just another object in the room.\u00a0 It didn’t make any judgements, it (awareness) just watched.\u00a0 There is a stillness that seems to be looking.\u00a0 Also there is a sense of allowance, as if everything is acceptable.\u00a0 And peace seems to permeate everything.<\/p>\n
Jacquelyn said, “Remember love is not a feeling, it is perfect allowance.\u00a0 It is the blue sky in Gina Lake’s book, \u2018In The World, But Not Of It.\u2019\u00a0 It is the essence of what we are.\u00a0 It is the open acceptance of everything.\u00a0 It is the soft edges around everything.”<\/p>\n
I was wondering why I wasn’t having warm feelings or a feeling of personal attachment or deep affection that I associate with love, in my meditation. I looked up the \u201cblue sky\u201d analogy in Gina Lake’s book.\u00a0 “The clear, cloudless sky, like divine nature, is always there, whether there are clouds or not.\u00a0 It is pristine, ever-present, immutable, and untouched by the clouds that pass through it.”<\/p>\n
Then I re-read Regina’s love experience as she described it in her tip.\u00a0 “There were different feelings and a few thoughts that occurred during the Love Meditation, but as I concentrated on awareness in a relaxed manner, it was easy to see that I am the love that allowed the experience that occurred during the Love Meditation.\u00a0 There were a few thoughts; there were feelings; I am the openness (love) that allowed them.\u201d<\/p>\n
Maybe I am experiencing love during my awareness watching awareness meditation.\u00a0 It\u2019s just not sappy, but I am beginning to recognize it is what I truly am.<\/p>\n
I invite you to this same looking today. Today, notice that awareness is love and you are awareness as you practice awareness-watching-awareness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
