Be Centered in Love

What does it mean to be centered?  By its most basic definition, it means to be grounded and balanced, to have a reference point for our innermost selves.  At a deeper level, it means that we are spiritual beings comprised of energy and light at our core and when we connect with God at the center of our being we experience a profound sense of balance and peace. We find our Source, not out there, but within.

In Physics, the term "foci" refers to the central point at which rays of light, heat or radiation meet after being reflected.  If we think of ourselves in scientific terms, using this analogy, our foci is the point at which we meet the Divine and from which we reflect his/her light and unconditional love.

So how do we find the center of our being?  Many spiritual traditions, including Christianity, teach that the heart center, or the area around the physical heart, is also our spiritual center.  This is our inner sacred space where we connect with God, are nourished by his love and reflect it back out to others.  When we breathe into our heart space, envisioning this point as our inner foci, we are centering and balancing our inner being and opening up the connection to our Higher Power, giving us the ability to love fully and unconditionally, reflecting back to the world the Light we have been given.

Breathe into the heart space, visualize light, give thanks for the gift of life, reflect back joy
