Unification Meditation Group Meeting

Love is our true identity and our ultimate fulfillment. It’s our final destination as well as the path; the light at the end of the tunnel as well as the light in the middle of it. There are times when we experience love’s soothing touch, the joy of sharing it, and the ease it puts us in when we extend it or receive it. But it is not always easy, it doesn’t always “come naturally,” and there are plenty of situations where the lack of love around us makes us recoil. It’s often a lot easier to react, withdraw or clam up. And that’s exactly why we need to develop skill in overcoming reactivity, letting go of resistance and generating love.

Formal Unification practice serves as a love gym where we exercise our love muscle in the controlled environment of the meditation room. Sitting down to meditate and intentionally loving helps us develop skill in cultivating a loving intention and bringing ourselves into a loving orientation toward others. Strengthening our loving disposition in formal meditation practice makes it easier to informally unify with people later, under the varied conditions of everyday life.

Informal Unification practice is based on taking the skill developed in the meditation room and applying it in real life: when connecting with people in person, talking on the phone, writing emails, or even shopping. The intention to love, and love’s vibrant power, can brighten and lighten any situation.

In our twice monthly Unification meetings we practice Unification formally, as well as share stories of our informal practice. We discuss our experiences and learn from each other, and the many unique ways we each practice and experience love.

You are welcome to join us!
