Love can means many things in the context of this article love is the “force” from your heart chakra or heart center.
The purpose of the love meditation is to experience more love and express the qualities of love in life, the quality of love are joy and sense of humor, compassion, acceptance of all also referred as ‘unconditional love’.
There is countless ways to do the love meditation and there are many aspects to it among them are experience the feeling of love, radiating or sending out love, forgiveness and acceptance and experiencing oneness. There is no right or wrong ways to do the love meditation.

Usually, it is a positive experience however doing the love meditation release emotional blocks and old wounds have be resolved to progress and radiate and experience more love.
The love you feel is at the degree your heart chakra feels safe. This is no panacea they are high moment and they are down moment, you can feel great and expanded at the beginning and have some buried pains that will emerge at a later time, it is necessary to heal these heart issues. I had mine emerging within a month of starting the love meditation, my healing was to forgive and accept the people that were involved with these buried pains.
After that, I was able to hold or express more love.

Experience the feeling of love
This is relatively easy most people can do in minutes, just close you eyes and bring to your mind the memory of a time when you felt love, if you cant remember, feel the gratitude for the nature, I use to imagine myself walking on a beach this one has been working for me for months, you can also imagine the gratitude of walking in a forest, caressing or holding your pet, having a newborn infant in your harms, there is many experiences you can tap to bring the feeling of love.
You can do this experience everyday it is very good especially in the begin of the day.

Radiating or sending out love

“‘Just imagine that there is a light in your upper chest near your heart and imagine it growing brighter and brighter, radiating with Love. Breathe slowly and deeply, filling your lungs with air. Breathing is important. Now let the light have a nice steady glow, like the glow you see from a candle, only much larger. Let it become more radiant and begin to surround your whole body. That’s it, the sensation you’re getting in your chest is all right, that is your heart opening. Now imagine sending a beam of Love from this glowing area to the food on your plate. Good. When you sense it is enough, then just let go and open your eyes, bringing yourself back into the present moment. There you go.’”

Universal acceptance and oneness

The fantastic experience to feel one with everything created, there is many way to achieve this meditation, basically, you have to imagine being one with the members of your family, then being one with your friends and your neighbors, move on including being one with the people in your city and country, then being one with the people in the world, repeat with the animals, vegetal and minerals world.

It is best to do this meditation when you have some experience with the feeling love exercise, you know you have open your hear chakra, when you manifest the quality of it, you have a new found sense of humor that has a childlike quality to it, you are happier , more confident. In fact doing specific chakras opening and balancing can help greatly however it isn’t necessary.

The first time, I did the oneness of love experience I cried a lot by the time I reached the animal worlds, (I cried of joy or something like this , it wasn’t sadness)
There is much more to say about the love meditation, I wanted to write an introductory piece so people know what I’m talking about when I say the ‘love meditation’ and ‘love’.
