Love

This Valentine's week let's practice unconditional love.

Actually, this is really challenging!

Need a little practice in a safe place?

Practice opening the heart on your mat, or by yourself -- open your arms wide and breath into your chest. Once you get the physical opening you may be able to feel an inner opening as well, an inner space being created.

And then you can share that space with the people you love. There is no need for words, just feel that openness. If you choose to speak or act, do so from that sense of openness, from that new space in the heart. And then whatever you do or say, you are coming from a place of love.
