how many licks does it take to get to the center of your universe?

Depends on who's licking.

Maybe the same amount it takes to get to the center of a hard candy shell with a creamy center! I have no idea how long that takes. Or are you trying to be clever in your question? God Bless

Ok Shine. It doesn't require that many damn words to answer such a silly question.

We all know it only takes "3" licks to get there.

Oh, about 20-30 minutes a day. For me, lick is spelled HU, and it indeed takes me to the center of my universe, a heart filled with indescribable, beautiful divine love.

Like this: You are invited to try this simple spiritual exercise. HU is a sacred name for God which is sung by people of all faiths. It is a universal love song to God which opens the heart to divine love.

If you would like to try it, first get comfortable. Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths. Next, focus on your spiritual eye and gently place your attention on something that opens your heart to love. It might be someone close to you, a nostalgic time of your life, or a beloved pet.

Softly begin to sing HU (pronounced like the word hue) as a song of love. Sing it as HU-U-U-U (like the word hue) in one long sound, on your outgoing breath. Breath in deeply and sing HU-U-U-U again. Sing it for as long as you feel comfortable. Generally at first no more than 20 minutes.

You may notice a feeling of peace, warmth, and comfort. You may also recognize the presence of the Divine through greater spiritual insights into your daily life. There are many ways to experience the love of God.

When you sing HU and sit in quiet contemplation, you might also perceive the inner Light and Sound. The Light may appear as brightness or colors on your inner visual screen. The Sound may be musical or the sounds of nature, such as the wind or the ocean. However you experience the presence of God, it is bringing you a broader understanding of the life you lead.
