A Meditation on the
Cycle of LoveEnergy and love is universal and in all things. You are a part of this cycle and so is everything else. We are all connected at sometime and in many ways. Love and energy travels and is also a constant. This meditation is a fun and long experience. It can be taken into many more steps but it will give you a good basis for learning how to really know something and how the energy and love is continuos.
Pick a piece of fruit to understand; an apple, plum, or pear - something that can be eaten as it is. Wash it and set it in from of you as you meditate or imagine that you are water falling from the sky, rain to nourish the fruit tree that bore this piece of fruit. As rain, you trickle down the earth and a root sucks you into itself.
Feel yourself be absorbed and travel up the root, through the trunk, through a branch, and into a bud.
As the bud you want to pop open, you feel the need to open. You gather more energy from other rain drops joining you. You all merge together and the desire to open into a blossom becomes stronger. All you can think about is more, getting more energy so you can open. You feel yourself growing and expanding, knowing soon you will open. Feel the pushing till you break open. It is a crack, a boom, a little relieve and then the very very slow blossom opens.
You are all of the bloom, feel your petals stretch and the insides of your flower bounce up and uncurl. Feel the sun warm you and dry out the wetness that was once enclosed in the bud. You dry and have the most incredible softness to you. Delicate and fragile. You know no fear. You are a new blossom.
From a hidden place you hear the words of the whole tree, gently guiding you to follow the warmth of the sun. A soft voice letting you know that it will continue to feed you and that you do not have to worry. It tells you of what you are, that you will become so much more. It feeds you from the nutrients it received from the loving earth, from the ground that was tilled by earth worms, from the admiration given to it from the humans that live near. You are told of how important you are and that it is because of you that others will be fed and that you shall always grow and become more. As the voice whispers to you you feel your being moved.
You know it is not the gentle breezes you have felt before, this time there is a heaviness to it. A big fuzzy bumble bee lands on you. The pressure is horrendous but as it moves apart your petals it tickles you and rubs it's softness against you. It feels good. You are so sensitive that you feel each of its legs as it moves around within you. The you feel it's mouth on you, gently pulling and sucking. You are feeling the most incredible pleasure as you taste and absorb other pollen that the bee has rubbed off onto you. After the greatness subsides you feel exhausted and tired, totally blissful. And in your happiness, when you thought you could experience nothing better a butterfly lightly assaults you with a long tiny tongue probing deep into you and satisfying you with more pollen from a different flower, tasting the different residue you again think it can get no better - several time this happens to you before you feel a peace that comes before death. You know that is what it must be, you can take no more pleasure so you curl yourself up, unable to take and give no more.
Then in your exhaustion the tree again talks to you.You begin to feel a fullness and the growing as the tree nourishes you. The experienced joy allows you to grow. You shed your wilted petals needing them no more. You are past that point. You have a new path to walk, to become a fruit. The tree tells of your fate to come and you delight in your all consuming effort to be a fruit. All your energy and focus is on one task. You coat yourself to protect your soft inside. A fine coating that stretches and grows with you. More and more energy and love is sent from the tree allowing you to become bigger and bigger. You will make another tree to grow more fruit. You rejoice in your efforts to make something as loving as you have experienced, a tree that you will be a part of. A tree that will be able to give encouragement and love to. You are blessed with the greatest goal and grow.
As you grow you pack your outside skin with sweet energy for your seeds, carefully placed them in the center so they are protected by the sweet meat and the tough skin you have made for the seeds. As a fruit you have become too big to more to the warmth of the sun but relish the feeling where it shines on you, making you darker.
Then you are picked from the tree without warning. You are no longer connected! You are moving once again and have pressure on parts of you.
... holding the piece of fruit continue...
As the fruit you feel your outside being rubbed, deeply massaged as the hand holding you shines your skin. With longing eyes you are being examined. Being turned all around.
... look at the fruit, examine the skin, the texture, the firmness, smell it, want it, salivate,... close your eyes and see the fruit from all angles... continue until you can accomplish this seeing without sight... know the fruit before you continue...
As the fruit... you are adored and loved and desired. You feel the pressure before you break your skin to allow the sweetness to pour out. You feel the pressure and the release as you are chewed and yet you are still the fruit protecting the seed to become the tree. You are a part of the person, feeling yourself pushed into the stomach and releasing your energy to the person. Your energy flows through the person and you are again connected and loved, and yet you still exist, protecting and being a part of your seed. You feel your fruit self becoming smaller and yet there is still enough love in the sweet meat of ourselves to feed the seed. The juices of yourself drip and fall as you feel yourself there on the ground, with your seed, and inside the person. As a drip you begin to evaporate and the rest of you is licked up by a bug that you now travel within.
As the fruit, you feel yourself with your seed fall to the ground and you wait.
As the human that you are, you can feel the energy and love of the fruit through your body. The way it feels in your moth, the taste buds dancing and tingling with excitement. The smell just before the bit, the chewing and swallowing. The feeling of the fruit meat sliding down your throat, your stomach becoming fuller. That fruit is now and will always be a part of you. You have shared the experience of the earth, the sun, rain, and the tree. It is all a part of you.
As the fruit waits to complete it's goal, it feeds the seed till the seed touches the ground and works it way downwards, growing roots. Tiny frail roots, touched by worms, you have the same goal, to be tree. Experience the complete cycle and the growing of the tree and then the nurturing of the fruit that grows from you... share the love... share the energy, complete the Cycle of Love, Life, and Energy.
