Preface

This book teaches a meditation, a spiritual practice, that I call Love on Every Breath. This meditation opens the heart to uncover our innate awakened love and wisdom and allow it to thrive, so we can blossom into who we truly are and share our unique gifts and presence with the world. It strengthens our love for ourselves, for those close to us, for those we come in contact with, and for everyone — each and every being on this planet and beyond.

Many of us take in the suffering of others, and it simply sits in us, unprocessed, weighing us down. Love on Every Breath provides a way to transform this pain into love and joy.

We have been given the capacity to love and to think, reason, intuit, and find solutions. Love is what humanity now desperately needs. If we can open our hearts to ourselves and to all others, we can heal our human family. We have the capacity to solve all our problems, but it requires love. Love moves us forward. Love is caring. Love leads to cooperation.

This meditation can be done “on-the-spot” in daily life as well as on the cushion, and I provide instructions for both. When we engage with the meditation, love reveals the innate beauty of our hearts. Healing our own wounding and suffering with love gives us the capacity to be present with and truly love others. As we heal, our innate goodness, our innate wisdom and love, comes into the forefront of our consciousness and infuses our speech and actions.

I offer you this practice in the spirit of sharing this thousand-year-old meditation from the lineage of the dakinis Niguma and Sukhasiddhi. May all beings come to happiness and peace!
