A teaching from Patrick Zeigler
Sekhem All-Love: Bringing the Soul Home to the Heart
Explore Patrick Zeigler’s teaching on opening the heart through breath, sound, longing, sun imagery, grounding and the All-Love mantra. Read the practice and teachings.
This guided healing session explores love through feeling, longing, sound, breath and the body. The practice moves through opening the heart, connecting the heart and crown, receiving waves of energy, grounding, gratitude and joy, while remaining present as the experience becomes quiet.
Love, longing, and the body
Love can be felt through different layers of experience. There may be affection, care, longing, trust, desire, attachment and the powerful bodily chemistry that accompanies what is commonly called being in love. These experiences can overlap, but they are not always the same.
In this inquiry, begin simply. When the person is present, ask: “What would you like to receive?” Allow the answer to reveal what is actually seeking attention.
Sharing: “I would like to know what I need to receive. My struggle is that I love everybody. I have lots of love for everybody, but I have never been in love. I was married to my former wife for eighteen years, but I was gay. I loved her, but I was not in love with her. I had my husband for sixteen years before he passed away. I loved him, but I was never in love with him.
“Now I have created a new paradigm for myself, and I am grateful for it, because now I can be there for me. I am learning to love myself, but I am not opening that heart space completely to be in love. Maybe I am not supposed to be. I do not know, and I am okay with that, but I do not have the clarity to know. There is energy there.
“There are also the little voices in my head saying that I am not worthy of having love, that I am going to die alone. Those messages go back and play.”
The practice does not require an immediate answer about whether a person is supposed to be in love. It allows the energy, the longing and the messages in the mind to become visible so they can be felt directly.
