Guidelines for Practicing Loving Meditation

Guide on Meditating for Love Connection

In today's fast-paced world, finding tranquility and inner peace can often feel like a daunting task. However, one ancient practice, long before the concepts of mindfulness and new age became popular, offers a solution: focusing on love and divine connection during meditation.

This practice, rooted in antiquity, encourages us to seek joy not just in material possessions or career success, but in helping a stranger in need. By doing so, we can foster a sense of order in our lives and connect more deeply with our spiritual selves.

The heart, both physical and spiritual, serves as the center of our being, connecting us to everything. It is here, in the heart, that our spiritual self longs for divine love. Yet, filling this longing with things that do not belong in the heart can be toxic, causing our hearts to become blind and deaf to the world.

Nature, with its beauty and serenity, can be a source of divine love. By appreciating its splendour, we can hear and feel the divine love with our hearts. God, referred to as the ultimate love and ultimate light, is present in everything, including the trees, wind, and even difficult and easy situations.

The practice of meditation is universal and has numerous benefits, including stress reduction, mindfulness, lessening anxiety and depression, increased attention span and focus, developing deeper trust in one's abilities, and a greater understanding of the self. It is often advocated for in mental health circles.

Jon Kabat-Zinn, through his development of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) in the late 1970s, promoted a meditation technique that advocates for connecting with the inner soul and increasing mindfulness for improving mental health.

To meditate on love, find a comfortable position, visualize a deep love such as a family member, focus on the feelings of love, and maintain regular breathing. Smiling internally and externally during these moments can allow love/light to transfer from one's heart to others, reinforcing the idea that we are all connected and one.

The practice of focusing on love and silence during meditation can lead to thinking or saying "Allah as you inhale and hu as you breathe out", which translates to "God is and they are referring to God is Love".
