In front of God we are all women and lovers:
open, like flowers,
waiting to be impregnated by the divine

~Rumi

Heart Meditation

My husband, Arjuna, put this particular version of this meditation, which is based on a meditation created by the Buddhist master Atisha, into words:
Allow your breath to move gently in and out of the middle of your chest, enlivening the center of the chest, the center of your heart. You can imagine that there is a tiny flame in the middle of your chest and that with each breath the flame is getting bigger, as if the breath were fanning the flame. As the flame grows brighter and bigger and warmer, filling your chest with warm, bright energy, imagine that there is an open window in the middle of your chest, an open window into the vast sky of the heart, an open window into consciousness.
As the in-breath moves through the open window of your heart, you can breathe in whatever is here in this moment, allowing it to dissolve back into the source of all. If you’re noticing thoughts, allow them to ride the in-breath, to be absorbed into the open window of the heart and to dissolve back into the vast sky of consciousness as a drop dissolving back into the ocean.
You can allow this quality of presence and love to ride on the out-breath and to bless the world around you. You can do the same with feelings and body sensations. Allow them all to ride on the in-breath and to be absorbed back into the open window of the heart, dissolving into the source of all. On the out-breath allow blessings to ride out, blessing the whole world.
As this becomes easier and more natural for you to do with sensations within you, you can now expand your awareness to include other people’s feelings and thoughts and body sensations, absorbing them all in through the open window of your heart and allowing blessings to ride on the out-breath. Keep on expanding, breathing in all suffering and all pain and all misunderstanding, just breathing it into the alchemy of the heart, allowing it all to be transformed, and breathing out blessings.
You can even imagine expanding your awareness to the whole earth, starting with your town, country, and continent and expanding until you can feel the whole earth and all beings from all times with their hopes and dreams, joys and sorrows, fear and anger, and just breath it all in. Then breath out blessings.
You can do this wonderful meditation in the morning or evening, but it is also a way of meeting each moment. If you can keep your heart open like this, you’ll cultivate the ability to meet each moment without resistance. In this way you learn to trust the power of alchemy, the power of the heart.

Kwan Yin, Mother of Compassion in ancient Chinese culture, blows gently into your life, and should be welcomed as an eternal source of comfort and peace.

She is the embodiment of compassionate loving kindness. As the Bodhisattva of Compassion, She hears the cries of all beings.
Often Kwan Yin is shown pouring a stream of healing water, the "Water of Life," from a small vase. With this water devotees and all living things are blessed with physical and spiritual peace. She is also sometimes pictures with thousands arms.
April 5 is the festival of the Goddess of Mercy in China and Japan
