Take 10 minutes. Find a totally quiet, private place. Close your eyes. Breathe deeply. Relax. Empty your mind of all thoughts.

There’s a special feeling of a vastly deep Love, an awareness of something bigger and more powerful,
deep inside you. It flows from inside to the outside, from the outside
to the inside. It is in you, a part of you, it is you, you are it, it
is also in others, and in everything. You may have missed it, because
it’s so totally huge it’s hard to pinpoint! Yet it’s there.

Sit quietly,
focus on your breathing, and let your mind and heart open to this Love.
It’s very quiet and easily disguised by a bunch of thoughts and
feelings. It takes developing a completely new set of spiritual senses to pick it up, but if you seek it, it becomes easy to feel it.
Some people call it a “sixth sense.” It takes being very, very still,
and very open.
If you don’t immediately experience this for yourself, don’t worry. Don’t feel bad about it. Just give
yourself a little more love, and time. Try it again later, or tomorrow.

Do you meditate or pray?  We’d love to hear how you make a connection with God, or your Higher Power.  PLEASE COMMENT!
