Today, in honor of the day devoted to love, take the love promise:

“I open my heart to more love today, more love of myself and those I meet in my day. I commit to giving without worry about receiving.”

Lay down on a yoga mat or the floor.

Take a moment to put your attention on your heart;

expand the space around it internally as you inhale,

and perceive the vastness of that space even as you

exhale.

Each time you manage to do this even for a few moments,

you’ve healed something within yourself, you’ve

slowed down time for yourself and likely others around you,

and you’ve most likely selected a response

(rather than reacted) to a pressing situation.

Then notice what changes in your life as a consequence.
