Love Meditation

When it comes to the love within us and surrounding us, it is so important for us to nourish it like a garden, starting at the core of love in our own hearts and rippling outwards to the garden surrounding us. 

We are seeds, ready to sprout and then blossom; it is time for us to remember the love that is our true nature. We all have this seed deep within our hearts. The best way to cultivate our garden of love is to start planting seeds—within ourselves and in the earth—each cycle. 

Each new moon and full moon, we  like to journal about the opportunities and goals that we would like to plant and see flourish. We write out what we need to burn away and let go and what we want to bring into form. We prune the plants in our garden, making cuttings near the new moon and propagating plants and planting seeds each full moon. we highly recommend planting and propagating both your literal and symbolic gardens with your own seasons and cycles. We can plant seeds of regeneration in the earth with each cycle; we can plant seeds of love within ourselves with intention-setting, positive affirmations, and radical transparency. 

At the core of every being—animal, forest, garden, and human—is a seed of love. 

What would your life be like if you knew it was always guided by love? 

When we know our life is guided, we trust and surrender to the waves of life, the beauty of impermanence, the mystery of the unknown, the simple moments, and the love that is within us and around us. We attract reflections of ourselves. When we encounter darkness, we recognize it, pray, feel it, and put our intentions out into the universe, knowing it has our back. 

We love. We can choose it. We are seeds of love. 

“The purpose of life is to spread this joy, happiness, love, goodwill, and blessings everywhere we go, so that when you leave this place the world will be better for your having been here.”
