The Loving Thoughts Project
The Loving Thoughts Project began in March of 2005. After listening to a Dr. Hawkins video, wherein he suggested that people could send loving thoughts to a world leader, we thought; why not send loving thoughts to each other? Why not raise the ocean of consciousness with a group dedicated to that purpose?
This group is not a prayer group, but rather, is a group living as a prayer. We intend to offer loving thoughts for the Highest Good of All. We intend to realize the power of Love by giving It. We are responsible for the effort, not the outcome. All involved in this project are dedicated to becoming enlightened. We are willing to carry these intentions within our heart.
"...The collective power of the Divinity within each and every one of us,
expressed as Love, will have a profound influence. That is for certain. To
deny it is to deny your own reality. It is to say I am only a weak ego and I
have no influence in this world. I am just a nothing. I am just a toad. No,
that is not so. Each one of us here reflects the divinity of God....the joy
of one's existence is the joy of this awareness..."
- Dr. D. Hawkins,
2000, Undoing the Barriers to Spiritual Consciousness.
"Lovingness is a way of relating to the world. It is a generosity of
attitude that expresses itself in seemingly small but powerful ways. It is a
wish to bring happiness to others, to brighten their day and lighten their
load."
- Dr. D. Hawkins, p.227, The Eye of the I.
EXERCISE - Sending loving thoughts
- So, you are invited to consider joining with our group. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/loveproject.
- In doing so, we ask that you consider sending daily loving thoughts to the 'group'.
- We ask that you commit to and consider this task vital and at the same time do not 'try' to fix situations or change anyone. Simply be committed to holding the loving thoughts group in mind on a daily basis and offer them loving thoughts.
- This simple practice of unwavering intent carried out daily, shifts our group's consciousness out of fear and into love. Sending these thoughts places us more and more often in the Field of Love, or in the vibration of love. It places us in the energy of Truth. Love is every present in our thinking. We become practiced at offering others love rather than resentment, or fear. Also we practice offering those other than our 'family' loving thoughts and so too broaden our willingness to love the stranger as a brother.
- Therefore, if you are not interested in joining the love project group, you are encouraged to consider how potent it is to send love. You are encouraged to bring this practice into your personal lives. Consider sending daily loving thoughts to those situations to which you are unwittingly sending fear. For example, every month the bills come in, rather than resent or fear these predictable events, send them simple loving thoughts, such as: "I appreciate the warmth and comfort in my home that this heating bill represents. I appreciate and am happy to be able to use the telephone whenever I want. I am trusted and am thankful I have good credit. I get to use the product for a month before I pay for it."
- What about the relative who always seems to be upset and upsetting. This person likely receives thoughts from others that help her to stay in her upset. Instead, send her loving thoughts. A simple thought that says "she is a fine person" is all we are suggesting.
- In this same way, you could consider sending loving thoughts to your political leaders or to the physical environment.
- What about looking at the "that will never change" thoughts?
- What about considering the "that is how it is" situations?
- Realize that any person or situation can be brought into your awareness through love rather than fear.
- Notice how often your thoughts are expressed from love about others and decide to expand this thinking to include everything.
