A wellspring of Gods joy resides in ever yone. Loving God with anopen heart releases this wondrous joy into ones life. Doesnt it makesense then to practice loving God, so His joy becomes a natural partof the day?
How, though, does one practice loving God?
Love Breathing is one method that helps habitualize loving God to
every breath. With a sincere, regular, loving God practice, enjoying di-vine communion becomes a natural and common experience; as natu-
ral and common as breathing.
Love Breathing is a sweet and practical guide to practicing the presence of God, yet takingit a step further, to the practice of loving God, in every moment of daily life. Finding God isactually simple. It is we who make it so complicated. [here] youll nd a guide to the spiritualsimplicity of suer the little children to come unto me, for such is the kingdom of God.
Nayaswami Kriyananda, author and founderof the Ananda Self-Realization Communities
is book springs from the heart of actual experience and for that reason has unique powerboth to inspire and guide. It is simple, creative, and eective.
Nayaswami Asha Praver, author and Spiritual Director
I love this book it is so easy to keep God in your mind when you practice love breathing
during a hectic day there is always time to breathe and focus. ank you, this added another
blessing to my life. DH

Your breath is a sacred clock, my dear

And if your feet are ever mobile
upon this ancient drum, the earth,
O do not let your precious movements come

Love Breathing
No one can keep us from carrying Godwherever we go.
No one can rob His Name from our hearts
as we try to relinquish our fears and at laststand victorious.
We do not have to leave Him in the mosque orchurch alone at night.
We do not have to be jealous of tales of
saints, those intoxicated souls who canmake outrageous love with the Friend.
Our yearning eyes, our warm-needing bodies,can all be drenched in contentment andLight.
No one anywhere can keep us from carrying
the Beloved wherever we go.No one can rob His precious Name from the
rhythm of my heart, steps and breath.

God! God! God!From the depths of slumber,As I ascend the spiral stairways of wakefulness,I will whisper:God! God! God!
Thou art the food, and when I break my fastOf nightly separation from Thee,I will taste Thee, and mentally say:God! God! God!
No matter where I go, the spotlight of my mindWill every keep turning on Thee;And in the battle din of activity, my silent war-cry will be:God! God! God!
When boisterous storms of trials shriek,
And when worries howl at me,I will drown their clamor, loudly chanting:God! God! God!
When my mind weaves dreamsWith threads of memories,Then on the magic cloth will I emboss:God! God! God!Every night, in time of deepest sleep,My peace dreams and calls, Joy! Joy! Joy!And my joy comes singing evermore:
God! God! God!In waking, eating, working, dreaming, sleeping,Serving, meditating, chanting, divinely loving,My soul will constantly hum, unheard by any:God! God! God!

Silent japa (mantra repetition)
should be engaged in at all times.One must not waste breath uselessly;
whenever one has nothing special to do,
one should silently practice japa
in rhythm with ones breathing.
In fact, this exercise should go on
continually until doing japa has become
as natural as breathing.
Anandamayi Ma

Before I fell asleep last nightI laid awake and wondered:
What did I achieve this day
Just roaming around calling His name?
So I brought before my minds eye all
who I had been kind to,And it turned out to be
All things that I had seen.
Id call that a productive day!

God yearns for our love what is God
longing for? Our love. Our attention.
He has made it very difficult for Himself,
because He gave man free will to seek
Him or reject Him. He says, I am pursu-
ing every heart, waiting for My children tospurn My creation and turn toward Me.
unless we choose to go to Him willingly He
cannot free us or Himself from suffering.

If the heart wanders or is distracted, bring
it back to the point quite gently and re-place it tenderly in its Masters presence.
And even if you did nothing during the
whole of your hour but bring your heart
back and place it again in Our Lords
presence, though it went away every time
you brought it back, your hour would be
very well employed.

God once sat close to them playing music.
When He left they missed Him so much
their great longing sprouted wings,

In the market, in the cloisteronly God I saw.In the valley and on the mountainonly God I saw.
Him I have seen beside me oft in tribulation;
In favor and in fortuneonly God I saw.In prayer and fasting, in praise and contemplation,In the religion of the Prophetonly God I saw.
Neither soul nor body, accident nor substance,Qualities nor causesonly God I saw.
I oped mine eyes and by the light of his facearound me
In all the eye discoveredonly God I saw.
Like a candle I was melting in his fire:Amidst the flames outflashingonly God I saw.
Myself with mine own eyes I saw most clearly,But when I looked with Gods eyes
only God I saw.I passed away into nothingness, I vanished,And lo, I was the All-livingonly God I saw.

I remember how my mother would hold me.I would look up at her sometimes and see her
weep.I understand now what was happening.Love so strong a force
It broke the cage,And she disappeared from everything
For a blessed moment.
Unable to live on earth,Mira ventured out alone in the sky,
I write of that journey of becoming asFree as God.
Dont forget Love;It will bring all the madness you need
To unfurl yourself acrossThe universe.

Feel the love of God;
then in every person you will seethe face of the Father,
the light of Love which is in all.
You will find a magic, living relationship
uniting the trees, the sky, the stars,

This is the code of divine love.
