The practice of love

Underneath all our experiences, there is a field made of pure universal love. We can connect with this field whenever we desire to.

Most of us spend pretty much our entire day being aware of what we are doing, seeing, feeling, hearing, etc.

All these sensations are much louder and, in a way, easier to be aware of than the field of universal love that rests in the background of it all.

Yet it is deeply fulfilling to become aware of this field, to stay with it, to be it, to allow it.

The more you do this—the more you allow yourself to soften your outward focus and become aware of what remains—the easier it becomes to be aware of this universal love.

It’s a very subtle act, yet it shifts everything.

I started this practice years ago, purely because I heard someone (Bentinho Massaro) talk about it.

What he shared rang true to me, so I started—and continued.

I came to realize that the moment we allow ourselves to let go of any external focus and stay with what remains, the love we experience is stronger than any external experience can give us.
