Love melts all blockages.

I remember my first visit with my guru. He had shown that he read my mind. So I looked at the grass and thought. "My God, he's going to know all the things I don't want people to know." I was really embarrassed. Then I looked up and he was looking directly at me with unconditional love. - Ram Dass

The love of a teacher. On this day, I deeply thank my spiritual father and teacher, Master Sha. His love is boundless. The Dao De Jing says that Tao is bigger than biggest. Master Sha's love is bigger than biggest. 

I have experienced this love firsthand for over nine years. His love has transformed me on so many levels. It has made me want to be a better person. To help more people. To ask for forgiveness for my mistakes. To forgive others unconditionally. To understand that we are all One. Every one of us has our own unique journey, but we are all souls on a journey. 

Do I have blockages and issues I need to work through? You bet! But I have the love of my teacher to help me and sustain me. Of someone who has traveled further, much further, on the spiritual journey than I ever knew was possible.

You may have someone in your life who has been a guide, helper, or mentor for you. You may have a spiritual teacher who guides you and blesses you. I encourage you to pause and express your gratitude to the Divine and the universe for this blessing in your life. 

Master Sha teaches this very powerful one-sentence secret:


 Love melts all blockages and transforms all life. 

Truth. Can you feel it? Love truly does melt all blockages.

Do a practice with me now. Sit comfortably with your feet flat on the floor. Gently close your eyes. Put your mind in your lower abdomen. Place your hands on your lower abdomen. Relax your body and allow yourself a few minutes to just be present. When you feel relaxed, repeat the following. You can alternate chanting aloud and silently for three to five minutes each (or longer):

Love melts all blockages and transforms my life.
Love melts all blockages and transforms my life.
Love melts all blockages and transforms my life.
Love melts all blockages and transforms my life ...

Close the practice by expressing your gratitude for the blessings in your life. Thank the Divine, the universe, or whatever fits your belief system. Sit for a moment and radiate your love to these people and other blessings in your life. Offer your Da Ai (greatest love, pronounced dah eye). Close with Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

*****

I encourage you to apply love, your greatest love, which is unconditional love, for the next two weeks. Do this in every situation and, most especially, the challenging ones. Be aware of the transformation that takes place around you and within you.

Please leave a comment. I'd love to hear from you!

Until next time.

With love from my heart,
Master Elaine
