About Love - Mail received from another source

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends,

 

Sai Ram. I received this from brother Gopi Krishna, who in turn got it from some

other source.

 

I feel love for God is far better than any other love. Love between two

individuals is decided more by their karma / destiny than all these exercises!

 

Swamy

> A Great Love - Fitness Workout by Scott and Shannon Peck

>

> What does it mean to practice love-fitness?

> We recently joined a gym to stay more fit physically.

> We don't actually work up much of a sweat, but we spend 30-45 minutes there

several times per week.

> It feels good.

> We start on the treadmill for about 15 minutes and then do what they call the

" circuit " – a series of about 10 machines.

> Each machine exercises a different portion of the body.

> It only takes about 10 minutes to complete the circuit one time and we often

repeat it.

> During the " circuit " this week, we thought, " Um, we're investing a good 45

minutes several times a week to our physical heath – like millions of other

people. What would be the equivalent of the " circuit " for a great love-fitness

workout? "

> So we came up with our own " love-fit circuit " of five workout stations, each

requiring just about one little minute.

> So let's get love-fit.

> Here's your love-fitness workout:

>

> Love-fit Station #1: Anger/Irritation Relief.

>

> Do you have any anger or irritation challenging your heart right now?

> Time to visit the " Anger/Irritation Relief " love fitness station.

> Begin by recognizing your anger and loving yourself for addressing it.

> It's part of healing to feel your feelings.

> As you take moments to think through your irritation or anger, you realize how

damaging and immensely wasteful negative energy is in your own life – not to

mention those who experience your negative energy, even if you don't say

anything.

>

> As you stay in this #1 love-fitness station, Love moves your heart towards

forgiveness – especially towards yourself.

>

> Just residing in this heart space of love strengthens your well being.

> Anger and irritation are not part of the real you – your highest selfhood.

> As you remember this, peace begins to descend into your heart.

> But love wants even more healing.

> It's time to move to another love fitness station.

>

> Love-fit Station #2: Doubt Relief.

>

being.
