The Elixir of Oneness

“Indeed, God hath created everywhere around this Gate oceans of divine elixir, tinged crimson with the essence of existence and vitalized through the animating power of the desired fruit.”
— The Bāb

“By the elixir of divine love, the solar regions are strong; by the divine elixir, the earth is great; the divine elixir is stationed in the midst of all the constellations.”
— from the Atharvaveda

“This nectar, trickling from the palate, is the sweetest of all tastes. Each drop is worth more than millions. This elixir will expel all your diseases and fill you with gladness. Your anger will vanish. You will exude ambrosial sweetness. You will rejoice in your spouse and children. As you taste this nectar and become absorbed in it, you will be transported with inner delight.”
— Swami Muktananda

The elixir of Oneness is none other than the presence and power of unconditional love. It’s the sweetness of agape (tender, benevolent affection and compassion) and the fire of Divine Love. It’s the life force that animates and sustains all life. It stirs the consciousness of Oneness, allowing it to emerge, blossom, and bear fruit. It’s what causes the rose to bloom and release the scent of the sacred.

Just like sap in a tree, the elixir of Oneness lives in your body: it swims in your blood, oscillates in your nervous system, and beats in your heart. There are many words for it—including Kundalini, Holy Spirit, Chi, Ka, Prana, Mana, Gtumo, The Microcosmic Orbit, and Shakti—all referring to the experience of the vital energy of love rising and circulating throughout your body, heart, mind and consciousness. The elixir of Oneness awakens the evolutionary force within, growing in you as love.

Today’s practice begins with tapping into the elixir of Oneness that’s already alive and well within you. Sit or lie down in a comfortable position. Become aware of your breath, finding a pace and rhythm that feels most pleasurable and satisfying to you. Breathe in and out. Inhale sacred love, circulate sacred love, and exhale sacred love. Continue your breathing, circulating Divine love to all of your cells throughout your body. Allow your breath to tickle each limb and organ, every part of your being. Let it dance within you, nourishing you with its sweet ecstasy. Inhale sacred love, circulate sacred love, and exhale sacred love. Smile as you bathe and delight in your own life-force energy. Feel this course through your veins and vibrate in your cells, awakening this sleeping giant of life, love, and bliss.

Continue to allow the essential life-force energy to build and strengthen. Gently bring your attention to your heart chakra, the source of unconditional love and compassion. Allow the sacred energy to flood your heart with tender loving-kindness. Feel your heart soften and open, like the petals of a rose blossoming in the warmth of the sun. Inhale sacred love, circulate sacred love, and exhale sacred love. Allow the love in your heart to fan the Divine spark into a powerful flame.

Now turn your attention to your base chakras, which are the roots of your connection to the earth and the fountain of creativity and sexuality. Feel the potency of life force as it builds and activates within these centers. Inhale sacred love, circulate sacred love, and exhale sacred love. Acknowledge the beauty of your connection to nature and to all life. Experience the pleasure and ecstasy of your own creativity, sexuality, and sensuality as the elixir of Oneness brings you into aliveness, radiance, and presence. Let go and trust the presence of God, the universal life force, as it leads you into full resonance with the consciousness of Oneness. Inhale sacred love, circulate sacred love, and exhale sacred love.

Allow this life-force energy to move into your belly, into the navel and the solar plexus, stirring the fire within—strengthening your will to live, to create, to transform, and to be here now. Know that you have the ability to do anything you put your mind to. Permit the fire of unconditional love to fuse with the fire in your belly.

Breathe this energy through the heart, dedicating your connection, creativity, and personal will to serve your mission of love. Feel this vital energy expand and open your heart even more as it swirls and spirals throughout your entire being. Know that the sacred source of life force lives within you and that it can be activated through your conscious contact with it.

Continue to breathe this energy to your throat, the center of expression. Let it vibrate through your vocal cords and then shoot up into your third eye, the place of intuition and knowing. Let it vibrate in your head and up through your crown, shooting beyond to the heavens and then falling back down to bathe your entire being in the sweet elixir of Oneness.

Feel your whole body and being vibrate and resonate. Feel the hum of life force zoom through your cells. Feel alive and radiant; feel good; feel God. This is the experience of Love in the body. Bask in it, live in it, and create from it.

Make it your intention to live within the awareness of and in connection to this vital energy every day. Allow everything you experience to bring you alive. Imagine and know that everything is conspiring to love you and wake up your life-force energy. Use everything to feed, nourish, and strengthen you, from the water you drink and the food you eat, to the colors you see and the air you breathe. Vibrate, tremor, and dance. Come alive with the ecstasy of life, for this is the elixir of Oneness.
