The Ocean of Love Exercise. In this
exercise, we join physical sensations and feelings. Though you will not
find a discussion of this in any texts of psychology, some people do this
spontaneously. It is one of the powers of love.
Imagine
that you are in the center of an ocean of water. This ocean extends in all
directions around you. Imagine the water of this ocean as being cool,
perhaps blue green, pure, and flowing.
Now, add to these
imagined sensations of a physical ocean the feeling of love. The water becomes
a presence that is nurturing, healing, renewing, and fulfilling. It brings
to life whatever it touches. We are now within and part of an ocean of
love.
Some will be able to imagine
the sensations of water surrounding them but have difficulty adding the feeling
of love. Recall again that the sea brought life into being and that it
sustains life. The magnetic field within the sea offers us dreams of the
way our consciousness can be extended and refined. Once you sense the
feeling that is inside water, the sea becomes a powerful symbol. It
embodies the sensations and feelings of all-embracing
love.
Alternately, you can practice the previous exercise of imagining blood
is water as it flowing through your body. Then extend the imagination of
flowing water so it surrounds your body on the outside. Gradually extend this
sense of water farther and farther until you imagine it as a vast sea
surrounding you.
Take a few moments to explore this
imagery. Imagine that you are this sea of love. Identify with this
vast field of energy without referring back to yourself as being in a specific
location or even having a bodily form. You are love and this love is
everywhere.
Now again visualize someone in
front of you. Visualize the person’s body as a hologram, as being empty
inside. Next, imagine that as the sea you begin to flow through the top of
this person’s head into his or her body and out of the person’s feet.
As you do so, sense everything
within this person. Your cool, flowing water heals, purifies, harmonizes,
and nourishes. Pain and tension dissolve. Frustration and unhappiness
disappear. The individual feels whole, complete, happy, and
serene. In effect, you are uniting the individual with this sea of
all-embracing love.
As you perform this exercise, retain
the feeling that you are the entire ocean. Your energy and love are
inexhaustible and everywhere. As the ocean, you are pure receptivity, and
no obstacle limits your power to flow and to remain pure.
One woman to whom I taught this
exercise was able to produce strong sensations of flowing water combined with
love in other people who were in no way psychic. It took two minutes to
teach her the exercise. A minute later, with this simple meditation she
was extending her aura through the body and mind of another person with effects
that were unmistakable.
Another woman said to me
after practicing the exercise, “I already do this every day with my
boyfriend. I just never put it into words the way you do.”
You can
also use this meditation for healing. Hold another’s hand or place your hands
on a part of another person that is injured or needs healing. As you do so
imagine this blue-green watery magnetic energy is flowing through the other person
restoring them to health.
You can
love and care for another person. But that is not the same as feeling there is
a boundless source of love flowing from you through the other person. Because
magnetic love is a force of nature, it is not prone to the insecurity,
jealousy, and possessiveness of romantic love.
The
ocean of love exercise teaches an individual to observe love as an actual flow
of energy between one person and another. Because it arises from a boundless
source, there is no ego present, no wounds from the past and no insecurities
relating to the future. One of the initiations or mysteries of Venus is to find
such love in yourself.
