Hate replaced by love - in reality

From a spiritual board, someone asked a couple months ago:

I really would not know how to cease hatred by love.
Sounds good in theory, but how does one actually do it?

I replied:

Yes, I actually do experience ceasing hatred through 'love'.
The results are palpable to me, my friends and my family.
I am blessed to watch many other folks change their lives, and then the world around them changes as well.

This is not an intellectual or emotional exercise,
it is part of our spiritual work:
opening to the energy of love, choosing to let go of the energy of hate.

I practice meditation techniques which consciously release energy that doesn't serve (such as hate or fear or invalidation...)
and also consciously receive energy that does serve (of things like affinity or validation or faith...)

The journey can go through many layers and may take time, attention, intention...
It is sometimes joyful and sometimes ridiculously challenging - but Always Exciting - I strongly believe it is worth it!

Although I believe the meditation techniques I use are very powerful and helpful, they are not Necessary.
We can just spiritually ask and receive from Gd.
