daidilove writes about his 30-day Sending Love Challange:

quote:

yesterday night i finished my second Sending Love Session. Before i started the actual sending, i meditated for about 5-10 minutes. There i just focus on my breathing, accept every thought that comes up and then bring my attention back to my breath. I do that to clear my mind and have a sharper focus. After that I started sending love, I still had problems focusing, cause of my cold, I have to cough a lot. Thas is really annoying I still continued, I couldn feel that much in this session, but I still finished it. I send Love to the same things like yesterday, but focused to just fill myself more with love. I still feel the same today, no real changes in my feelings, the behavior of people towards me or anything else. but i will still keep going :) much love, daidi

"I still had problems focusing, cause of my cold, I have to cough a lot"
Oh, you have a cold? I had it two times in a row recently in August.
I would recommend you not to do "work with love" and "play with love" instead.
Play like "Would it be nice if I did nothing but my body would radiate real love and I would feel very nice about right now?"

Kids and people in general don't want to work, they want to play. They ask - "What all work and no play?" I believe this is very wise question.

Of course the play is more fun when we have other players to play with. They can be kids, adults, animals. Yesterday I met a dog with whom we were used to play with. He recognized me and I felt very touched.

Maybe we could have online sending love meetings once a week? Several times a week? Once a month?

"That is really annoying
I still continued, I couldn't feel that much in this session, but I still finished it.

If you do something that you don't like, if you push yourself to do it - how can you expect to receive nice things from the world in return?

I think, the idea of sending love is about giving your attention to the idea of love, not to the idea of "I must, I need to". The easiest way to put my attention to love is to talk about it to someone. Even to myself ))) But it's more fun if we talk to another person.

okay I understand what you mean.
and jeah I kinda see sending love inbeetwen work and play.
cause somehow it feels like I work onmyself with love, but I still like it. not like actual work :)

but I like your mindset, I will try to see it that way. not like working, but like having fun and enjoying the sending of love :)

how is it with your love sessions, when you dont feel like you want to continue (does that even happen for you?) do you then continue or do you just accept it and stop sending love?

much love, daidi

As I see, you can't DO anything in physical world to send love.
The only thing you do is - making a decision. It also takes an effort, but it's not a physical effort, it's cognitive effort. I read about it in Kahneman book "Thinking Fast and Slow".

I think Sending Love is more like choosing an answer to a question - would you like all remain as it is, or would you rather have this and that filled with love?
Or I could say that Sending Love is asking this from yourself.

People get tired from cognitive efforts too. They need some rest and some food to restore.

Yes, I'm trying to do what I want. Or maybe what my body wants.
