How to Connect More Deeply
Here are some specific, nonmanipulative techniques y o u can use to strengthen your ability to connect with love. S o m e of these exer- cises will help y o u form n e w connections, while others will help y o u deepen existing ones. T h e C o n n e c t i o n Exercise Here's a very simple exercise that will enhance your ability to c o n - nect. Think of a person y o u already know and love. If y o u can't c o m e up with anyone suitable, then think of someone y o u admire or re- spect. Picture that person in your mind's e y e , and then choose to send love to that person. Imagine your love as positive energy flowing out of y o u . Tune in to the connection that already exists between y o u . Recognize that y o u ' r e both part of the same w h o l e . Hold that thought for a m o m e n t , and notice that it feels g o o d . N o w try this: imagine an everyday object for w h i c h y o u have no special feelings, such as a pen or pencil. Choose something within arm's reach, and pick it up if y o u c a n . Look at it, and tune in to the nonphysical connection that already exists between y o u and this ob- ject. Imagine that this object is a part of y o u . On some level y o u ' r e both the same. S e n d your love energy toward that object and say to it: "I love y o u , " and "You're beautiful." This may seem a little strange, but notice that it still feels g o o d . If y o u can love an ordinary object, w h a t else might y o u be able to love? 39 PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR SMART PEOPLE Keep looking at your everyday object. As y o u continue to send it loving thoughts, imagine that y o u can also receive its affection in re- turn. Just pretend that this object loves y o u back. You can even imag- ine it saying: " A w w w . . . I love y o u , t o o . " Allow yourself to perceive a mutually loving connection between y o u and this object, and notice that it feels g o o d . In truth, y o u can love absolutely anything. Love is not an acci- dent. Love is a choice to recognize the deep nonphysical connection we all share. To love is to say, " W e are the s a m e . " Am I telling y o u this to make y o u fall in love with your furniture? N o , the point is to encourage y o u to adopt a perspective that makes it easier to give and receive love. It's easier to recognize love as some- thing that already exists instead of assuming y o u must create it from scratch. Download 1.6 Mb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
