My 5 minute healing work-out for building love muscles.
Work-out multiple times per day when feeling bad.
1. Choose a physical task around the house like washing dishes, vacuuming, pick up a room, washing your car, or any mundane task that needs your attention.
2. Dedicate 5 minutes of complete attention to the task.
3. Before you begin, remember a moment, any moment, in your life when you felt love.
4. Open your heart wide and let that love fill your entire body.
5. Begin your task. As you touch whatever you are working on, touch it with love. Whether you are touching a tupper-ware bowl, a piece of clothing, a rag, or a vacuum cleaner—let love fill the space you are working on.
6. Open your heart in gratitude for everything around you that supports you. Be in gratitude for the book you are dusting, the dish you are putting away, the clothes you are folding, the car you are washing, etc.
7. When 5 minutes of living in love and gratitude for everything you have touched are finished, pause to lovingly thank yourself for being such a caring and grateful person.
8. Notice how different life feels inside you and around you. That feeling is the most powerful healing energy in the world. Continue this journey of creating positive emotional space for healing with the Breakthrough Healing System.
9. Well done!

A lovely way to spend 5 mins.
Indeed! Thanks Carol for taking a moment to write. 🙂
Dear Misa, Thank you for this wonderful practice of 5 minutes of love for my messy bedroom. Just what I needed to hear at the perfect time.
Mahalo!
Susie, so glad you enjoy the exercise! 🙂
Thanks for sending this. Misa! I am not habitually a neat person; I tend to make clutter. Recently sitting before a table set in front of a couch I thought, “This is getting out of hand. Then I decided first to love myself and calmly love everything on the table, thinking that everything there just is what it is, good in itself. Instead of blaming myself for more clutter, I simply set to work sorting it into stacks, setting aside what needed to be thrown out, not stopping to read anything which tends to take me off in several directions at once and then giving up. In a few minutes I had some neat stacks and I could see the table top. That way I was able to manage the clutter and even feel good for having finished the job. I know now that getting peaceful is the best way to start such a job, much better that tearing myself down because I have created some clutter.
Hi Michael,
How beautiful that you loved yourself through the experience. Isn’t it something how quickly we lean toward blaming ourselves, when love is so much more fun and constructive. It’s wonderful to hear how you shifted the energy so very quickly from a habit of blame into a conscious choice to love, and allowed yourself to feel the benefit of that choice. So very glad you shared this. What inspiration for all of us!

Rosemary,
How wonderful that you decided to do something creative in response to your foot. 🙂 I understand that the room might be too much right now, but I love that you simply and lovingly shifted the experience.
