You can do this meditation anywhere and anytime. It’s wonderful to start your day with this meditation and then, throughout the day, to recall the experience of love from this meditation a few more times, thereby reconnecting with it.

This meditation teaches us to fill ourselves with love and radiate it—as naturally as a flower blooms and fills the air with its scent, or as a candle is lit and shines into the darkness.

Sit down comfortably. Focus your attention inward and kindle love and respect for yourself. Feel and sense what it’s like to cultivate self-love and self-respect.
Fill yourself with this love until it begins to overflow and radiate into the space around you. Fill the entire room with this love.

Let this flow—this radiance of love—flow in all directions, unconditionally. Don’t focus on anyone in particular. Let love shine freely into the space, just as flowers give off their scent—quietly, naturally.

You can see this love as a color or light, feel it as a vibration in your body and around you, or hear it as a sound or melody.

Experience this vibration of love throughout your entire body and in your surroundings.
