Holding Love in Your Heart
This article is part of my ongoing Series on Love.
What does it mean to hold Love in your heart?
How would that effect how you live? How would that effect How you Love?
How would that effect What you do?
Life, it seems, is a huge lesson for all of us. That life lesson seems to center around learning to Love. But how do you do that?
Over two thousand years ago Jesus walked the earth and prior to His departure gave His followers a commandment “Love One Another as I have Loved You.”
We need only look around us in the world to realize how far most of us have strayed from demonstrating that commandment. Greed and selfishness seem to dictate so much of human behavior that Love is hard to find.
What would life be like if we, you, and me, and indeed everyone everywhere were to love one another? That would surely be a new world. It would bring heaven to earth in dramatic and life changing ways.
Kindness and compassion would govern your interactions. Government would transform if we truly loved one another. If the power of Love transcended the Love of Power, life would change.
This is not a secret.
Jimi Hendriks said long ago “When the Love of power transcends the Love of power the world will know peace.”
But it is not only peace that is promised when you hold Love in your heart. Love has the power to transform everything we think we know about life. That simple commandment that Jesus gave to His followers before He left may have been simple, but I must admit, it is by no means easy.
Loving one another, especially as Christ Loved us, is the opposite of selfish. It is Divine. It incorporates the powerful principles of kindness and compassion. It is steeped in giving rather than gathering and accumulating with greed.
So much of the suffering that is inherent in life on this planet would be resolved by Love. So, I invite you to consider holding Love in your heart. Consider how Love would be demonstrated in life.
What would you do
and what could you do to demonstrate Love?
Ask yourself: How might you hold Love in your heart? Can you give graciously to the hungry, the poor, the prisoner and the disenfranchised? Can you Love your neighbor as yourself? And if you did would that not change the world? Ponder on these questions.
How might the concept of the brotherhood of mankind impact and influence your actions? Ponder on this question.
What can you do to transform the world with the power of Love? Ponder on this question.
How can you bring more Love into the world to manifest the victory of Love as the guiding influence of life? Ponder on this question.
Does that attempt bring you to the realization of the importance of harmlessness? Does that enable you to realize the ancient truth that you cannot harm another without harming yourself? Ponder on these questions.
The Oneness, the Brotherhood of Humanity and the Power of Love are not separate energies and concepts. When you hold Love in your heart, when you practice loving your neighbor as yourself, these concepts come to you more naturally.
This is the awareness that Loving grants. This is how Love works, energetically and then begins to manifest into the world of matter and humankind through kindness and compassion, forgiveness and sharing. Love is the cure to greed and selfishness.
If you want a love message to be heard, it has got to be sent out. To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.
-Mother Teresa
Practice it and strengthen it in your heart, in your mind and in your Soul. Demonstrate it whenever life brings you the opportunity. In small actions great things are accomplished when you do them with Love.
Within the world there is an energy that is so strong, and so powerful, that unites us to bring it into life and the consciousness of humanity. That energy is Love.

A Meditation to Help You Hold Love in Your Heart for the Full Moon of Aquarius
Calm Your mind, Open Your Heart, Invite the Light. The Light you are inviting is the Light of your Soul.
Then take a deep and relaxing breath as you put all that has ever come before this moment firmly and completely behind you. Enter into the NOW, this moment of time.
With the exhale of your breath release and let go of any troubling thoughts.
This is a new time of great promise and wonderful possibilities. Remember that you are at the beginning of the dawn of a new age of Aquarius.
Turn your attention to the way that Love can fill your heart to overflowing just by you opening your awareness to it. Draw into your being the essence of Love.
From the point of Light within the mind of God see Light streaming forth into the minds of humankind as Light descends to earth.
From the point of Love within the heart of God see Love stream forth into the hearts of men and women.
Now imagine the Light of the Full Moon of Aquarius filling you with a Divine Light that is empowered by Divine Love.
Consider how this Light from the Full Moon is already shared by all the world.
Imagine it igniting the energies of the unity of wo/men throughout the world.
Now imagine it empowering and infusing every one of your friends with Divine Love and Divine Light. See it coming to you and flowing through you as it infuses the world with the Divine Will of the Creator.
Imagine you are infusing Love and Light into the world.
From the Source of Love see your heart as a conduit of Love.
The Aquarian Full Moon invites you to use the Cosmic worldwide energy of the Full Moon to ignite change and transformation.
What better change can there be than to infuse Love by people everywhere to engage in holding Love in their heart and becoming a Source for the power of Love to transform the world.
By doing this you learn how to give Love, live Love and be a beacon of Love for all of humankind.
By Holding Love in your heart, you become a living example of what it means to Love, unconditionally, universally, and unselfishly.
You can surrender to the power of Love, and the Light that Love brings to your consciousness, by choosing Love.
Today, during the Full Moon of Aquarius cycle the whole world is invited to join a new way to demonstrate Loving One Another. Ponder on this.
Breathe in and take a moment to be Love, sending Love forth.

This is your Divine destiny as you remember the truth that God is Love and when we Love one another we are demonstrating our union with God.
