THE BRIHADARANYAKA UPANISHAD
A message for you...
My darling, keep taking steps closer to the soul of you.
Use love’s absence as a sacred time to prepare your body, your heart, and your soul.
This wait will all make sense when your soulmate arrives.
Your longing for love is Divine.
Love is the essence of life, and this yearning for love is merely a calling to heal any rift you may feel from it, clearing the way for what is already yours.
The ache in your heart has its purpose: to catalyze change, to expand your awareness, and to discover your blind spots. As the mystery of love begins to unveil itself through the meditations in this book, you will start to relax and recognize that this journey is not an obstacle but an opportunity to understand the universal laws of energy and collaboration. Your magnetic destiny is preordained if you are willing to get curious about all the ways that love wants to flow into your life.
So, if you are questioning why lasting love hasn't shown up for you or why it seems to be letting you down, it's not because life is failing you or something is wrong with you. It is your soul's request for a new understanding of intimacy and healing. It is Life asking for your commitment to Love itself. For you are the ground from which the lotus of love blossoms. The unfolding happens with your willingness to soften, trust, and discover what else is possible beyond the patterns of seeing and believing that are held in your psyche up to this point And as quantum physics has proven, reality is affected by observation. This means you are already influencing change by picking up this book! Your curiosity initiates the pathway to break the barriers to love and invites something new into being.
In this book, I use the metaphor of a "mala" to walk the path of
manifestation. A mala is a sacred string of 108 beads that meditators have used to anchor attention and evolve consciousness for millenniums The beads are used to recite mantras that keep the mind focused on the energies of possibility instead of lack, abundance instead of scarcity and/or doubt.
I'm offering this mala of meditations as a guide to open your heart to the magic that awakens the dance of love and initiates its rhythm and flow.
As for the number 108, it is not arbitrary. In Yogic and Vedic traditions, 108 is considered a sacred number, believed to represent the universe's wholeness
In the context of Yoga, it's important to know that the word “yoga” has many meanings, one of which is "to yoke" Yoga is the state of wholeness (oneness) that comes from yoking together that which appears to be separate, such as body, mind, and spirit (or you and your soulmate).
This act of “inner yoking” initiates the external manifestation of the partner who fulfills your soul. Your inner yoking upgrades the quality of being that amplifies a high-level attraction vibe. By understanding what internal congruence feels like, you will begin to see evidence of the deep love and interconnectedness that you seek As you become, so you attract This is a key piece on your path to soulmate love.
This gathering of all of you toward the center of your being, without
denying or rejecting any part of you strengthens your magnetism and gets you on the super highway to the divine, reciprocal love that will fill your heart and soul for all time.
Therefore, your job is not to find your soulmate. Your soulmate is already on your timeline It is instead to become individually whole so that when your life partner does arrive, your love aligns and you are not subsisting on each other's life force but bolstering each other's brilliance.
THE MALA
If you are new to malas, traditional malas are often made with rudraksha seeds. The classical rudraksha seed is the kind you see in the mala image on the cover of this book Each seed represents a tear of Lord Shiva (the supreme being), which holds the vibrations of compassion and protection, and, with time, illuminates the essence of love at the heart of all experience
Just as a seed can hold the blueprint of a beautiful tree, every meditation or 'seed' in this book offers an element of the love you seek As you progress through these meditations, each 'seed' sows a new understanding and perspective, offering a course of action to magnetize your beloved
Like a gardener tending to her garden, or a yogi meditating with a mala, tending to each seed requires presence, patience, care, and trust Through curiosity and sacred action, you are fostering your capacity for love and actively participating in the manifestation of your soulmate
While "108 Meditations For Love" is organized from the standpoint of a woman desiring to attract a masculine man, the book's teachings are based on understanding the balance and interplay of energies, which forms the basis of all relationships. These energies aren't strictly tied to gender; they're about the masculine and feminine polarities within us all. This Book is Divided into Four Sections:
1 Preparing For Love
2. Embodying The Divine Feminine
3 Honoring the Sacred Masculine
4. Ensuring Success
These sections represent a journey from preparation to manifestation, enabling you to understand, embrace, and harmonize your internal energies while expanding your perspective on the balanced flow of energy exchanged between partners in successful relationships.
The first section, "Preparing for Love," begins with the steps to initiate readiness and openness to embrace a new level of love. This stage is about creating a fertile ground within your heart, mind, and life for love to flourish
The second section, 'Embodying The Divine Feminine,' will deepen your appreciation for the power that heals, restores, rejuvenates, moves, and inspires You’ll discover why the nurturing, intuitive, and receptive aspects of feminine energy are valuable, and you’ll gain an insightful command
for the deep presence, fluidity, and feminine dynamism that amplify the power of effortless attraction that the feminine embodies.
The third section, 'Honoring the Sacred Masculine,' focuses on understanding and honoring the assertive, protective, and structured aspects of human energy that complement the feminine This section concerns learning to love and allow these distinctly masculine traits to support you. Masculine energy's leadership, action, and stability are healthy attributes in creating a harmonious relationship with feminine energy
'Ensuring Success,' the final section, ties the journey together, focusing on the success secrets that provide the consistency, patience, and trust essential to attract love
This book is written for a woman seeking a masculine man Still, anyone looking to understand the balance of energies within themselves and their relationships can, with an open mind, interpret the content beyond the limitations of language Whether you're a woman attracted to a woman, a masculine-energy woman attracted to a feminine-energy man, or any other relationship dynamic, the principles of this book apply. It's about understanding the polarities of your energy and how to create the dynamic pull that not only sparks and magnetizes love but also sustains lasting attraction We all have both masculine and feminine energies within us
To have a relationship that thrives, there must be room for each energy to express itself so the power struggle dissolves and the best in each of you can rise.
You may better understand balanced love as expressed symbolically through the yin/yang symbol Each aspect contains the opposite, but the predominance of opposing energies allows for balance, joy, ease, and inspiration
May the mala and the 108 meditations of this book, anchor your intention to manifest your soulmate and remind you that your heart’s desire is sacred May you trust your soul’s divine destiny for lasting love and allow it to blossom in divine timing
Deep blessings upon your path, Kristin
I highly recommend getting a mala of your own to use for japa (mantra) meditation
This repetitive practice of chanting words that emit higher energetic frequencies than our day-to-day thoughts aids in softening the heart, quieting the mind, and activating a receptive quality in your energy field This practice offers a sanctuary from doubt and a sacred space to keep your mind focused on a higher source of power
You can use any beads that resonate with you. For example, mala beads of rose quartz, known as the stone of unconditional love, or rhodonite which clears negative energy from the heart chakra, heals past wounds, and nurtures compassion
A SANSKRIT MANTRA FOR ATTRACTING LOVE(Sanskrit is the ancient, holy language of India)
