The breath of love is greater than the words of love!

1. Breath of Love
October 13, 2020
My mother never said she loved me! Could I have had
a better mom? Not possible, her actions spoke love. People often use the words, ‘I love you’
with no action to back it up. It might be from ‘shallow breathing’ or because they haven’t
experienced deep love. Breathing in and out is taken for granted with benefits ignored! It is said
that ‘breatharians’ live on air alone – not sure I would try that one even if it would save on
groceries. Love is elusive especially when there is no ‘resonance’, meaning someone to
experience the ‘feel good’ experiences with.
Millenniums ago in what is now India, slowly over time, mystics began to see the futility for
nearly everyone of experiencing ‘conjugal love’ or couple love. Love has many dimensions
beginning with a child’s love with it’s parent. Parental love is in a way ‘captive love’ with a child
who is totally dependent on the giving of the parent. Individuals often make the mistake of
forgetting that this is a very different dimension of love than that between two people in love.
Self love is rarely contingent on loving a child, but becomes paramount in
‘adult love’ between man and woman where it wilts into erratic feelings
of negativity with occasional spurts of inner warmth or, flowers into a
dimension of bliss and fulfillment that becomes a true compliment with
godliness. There is an inner ‘zone’, or place, that rarely is reached.. It
has no word for it but, is an eternal superconscious love that changes
the quality of life forever where the ‘feeling of love’ is in active sensitive
mode every moment.
Mystics, finding glimpses of the ‘love consciousness’, sought to find
another route beyond ‘coupling’ with godliness. With ‘arranged
marriages’ and general ignorance, the probabilities of experiencing it
were seemingly lower than nil. This predicament led a few rare
individuals to discover that watching the breath with deeper breathing very slowly over time
shifted into a blissful feeling of inner love or self love. Today those techniques are called
‘meditation’.
Rarely are the channels for deep love not clogged with memories perceived as negative
experiences or the lack of sufficient love. Nearly all are consumed by the fog of complacency
(acedia the 12th deadly sin) or a comfort zone and, create barriers as shields to protect from
love’s blossoming to touch every season of life. Being aware of breathing welcomes in love to fill
the vessel of the body, mind, and heart. Start a new breathing from the heart. Your
heart is waiting to rise in love to fill your mind. Make heartfelt breathing your
favorite song! Breath in love and exhale all negatives until both are
love - inhale and exhale.
