PROCEDURE:
Explain that as an activity for causeless love, we are going to make a card, and give it away to a complete stranger! Why? Because that is a form of causeless love; giving something from your heart. With no purpose other than you love them as another being in this universe and want to make the whole world happy!
Allow each one to colour and decorate their card, and give their gift away to a complete stranger and come back with their story of whom they gave it to, and how it made them feel.
Love is contagious, love is like a smile. Smile at someone, not just with your face, but with your heart, and they will feel the love and in turn smile at others. I believe we could make the whole world a happier place if we sent smiles all over the world creating positive energy!
- 1. Cushions or mat for children to sit on
- 2. Instrumental music (optional)
This is a lovely activity to do in a group, a meditation that all can enjoy about love.
Gather the class and explain what we are about to do, ask them to close their eyes and picture themselves aslove, pureliquidlove overflowing to every part of theirbodies.
When theyhave their eyes closed you cangive them soft instructions while the music is playing quietly in the background. Speak slowly and calmly, and pause for some timebetween the instructions.
Review the activity and how it relates to our thoughts affecting our daily reality and consciousness on the whole.
- ➢ "Focus on your heart region. Exclude everything else. Focus only on the heart".
- ➢ "Visualize your heart as an endless reservoir from where blessings can flow".
- ➢ "Feel everyheartbeat deeply.Let everybeat resound throughout you".
- ➢ "Feel everyheartbeat deeply.Let everybeat resound throughout you".
- ➢ "Between theheartbeats, feel the energy oflovehappening".
- ➢ "In the deepest parts of yourbody, mind and soul, the love energy is waiting tobe acknowledged."
- ➢ "Invite the love energy of the heart to flow and fill these deepest parts of yourbody, mind and soul".
This meditation helps them to focus and even become love; they should carry this with them. The more effort they put into this meditation, the more theyget from it.
Continue with the discussion about how we can express love. Expand on this: 'When we become love, our actions will speak love.' What kind of actions can we do to express our love? Practice expressing love by using words which will express love. For example: sweet, beautiful. Discuss what kind of words we will use, what kind of voice.
"When we offer all our actions to the universal energy, It takes care of us". When we understand that we can create a positive shift in our lives by surrendering our actions to Existence and building our relationship with the Divine even in the smallest, simplest gesture, our daily lives, our thinking and even the people in our lives will start aligning through the cosmic principles to create the best reality for us. Krsna says this clearly. Every enlightened master makes this promise. When we surrender ourselves to the master, to the Divine, to the universal energy, it takes care of us. When we offer all our actions to the universal energy, It takes care of us. The entire burden on our shoulders is offloaded. We are free from all the results of our actions. This is the promise of every enlightened master.
