RETURN To Your True Nature which is LOVE

Exploring Awareness

In this episode, Frank and Lisa focus on Love as one of the inherent qualities of human nature. Expressions of Love are in such display during the pandemic- even staying at home is an expression of Love. Through exploring awareness, we can “know” that love is being expressed and see more clearly how Love is an inherent motivating factor in all of our lives.

We learn to “know” this through meditation. The discussion includes how meditation can let us experience the “one that knows that it knows” and how there is a place before thinking that opens something new, vaster and open. The question is always HOW? If there is an intention to know this place, and a at least a sliver of faith that something else is possible, the next step is a bit of discipline and concentration. Settle in a chair and practice mindfulness of the breath and body to start and move to mindful awareness of thoughts. Start with 5 minutes per day and work your way up. In this place, before thought, a whole new space opens- the “other side of thought”. Don’t think of it as another thing to do, but an opportunity to know yourself better.

In this vast and open place, before thought, is a universe of “knowing” and you may being to “know” that Peace, Joy, Generosity and Love are just waiting there for you to experience. Perhaps in that place, old wounds are healed and fall away. You can’t think these things up, but find them already there.

A basic guided meditation is also offered to help with the concentration aspects of meditation that helps get this knowing opened up.
