This is the 3rd of three progressive meditations inspired by Dr. Patrick MacManaway’s book Cultivating Your Light Body. It builds on the strength and stability developed in the first and second practices. Here, we continue cultivating heart-centered awareness in a cycle of witnessing, blessing, and renewal, and we take the further step of using these qualities to restore right relationship to current challenging issues in our lives. We restore a healthy relationship in the pathways of energy that connect us to other people, places, and times. This practice can be demanding on your energy and attention, particularly if it is new to you, so please be gentle with yourself, and create time to practice when your energy and attention are good, and your time is spacious. Regular use and practice will allow you to remain increasingly heart-centered when contemplating and renewing your relationship with stressful or distracting issues. Over time, you'll find that the radiant blessing and renewal of the heart opens you to the possibility of miracles.
