A bit of music to drop us in…

Pere Jou, Sculptor de Espana

Have you ever found yourself hearing a song in your head that seems to come out of nowhere? Things like this are actually messages from the Divine realm leading us to opening our heart more and more. Sometimes it’s the lyrics, carrying a specific answer you’ve been searching for. In other spaces it’s the vibration or tones of the music which are opening up neural pathways of healing and strengthening the resonance of the heart.

This morning’s practice brought me a beautiful song by Krishna Das called Baba Hunaman. At first I kept hearing the background music- soothing, welcoming, calling me to drop in deeper into my meditation. To allow myself to be surrounded by the silence of the center of my being. Peace. Dropping in took me into a journey and I found myself in a jungle, lush with green plants, trees, enormous leaves and a dew soft earth. As I walked through the leaves, seeing only the texture of the leaves in front of my face, I felt myself being drawn further into the jungle.

I know this jungle. This is what my heart space looks like. All of our true nature resides in our heart and is represented by nature. We all have our own landscapes where we may explore, visit, and grow seeds of becoming. And so here I am again in another undiscovered part.

And all the while, Krishna Das is in the background encouraging me to keep moving through. I arrive at a small sacred pool of water. There are smooth gray stones surrounding the spring, which is crystalline and alive. A statue of woman sits at one end of the pool, gazing lovingly at the water, blessing it with her soft smile. And I feel at home. Quiet, peaceful, calm.

After the journey concludes, I decide to play the song which led me here to see what more opens up for me. As soon as the singing begins, I drop into such a deep place of gratitude that I begin to cry. So much love. “Too much love” as a Toltec chief from Mexico loves to say when explaining in broken English the importance of reverence of all beings. I share streams of this light of my heart with those who come into my awareness. I love them so much.

Thank you Divine for guiding me on the path of heart opening in ways which already bring me delight and joy. For with these things, I am able to move through the pain, suffering, sorrow, fear. It is the remedy for all of us but we must walk the path of inner landscape to understand how we will transmute the heavy energy into something lighter and expansive. And transform it into too much love.
