Love

Why does it seem so elusive to so many? Why are you so willing to accept less from others? We bring this topic up often as it is such a large stumbling block for so many of you. Love is not an elusive thing that flutters out on the horizon just out of reach. Love is available to all of you in every moment, but you stop yourselves from accepting and owning that feeling of being loved. To love one’s self is the real goal, for if you truly love yourself, the world of love opens right up. 

If you cannot love yourself fully, there is not room for others to fully love you. Now their emotion may be that they love you and they tell you they love you, but do you allow that in or do you push it away with excuses? Many people may love you for whom you feel no love in return. This is an interesting phenomenon as love is being offered and you are rejecting the offer. Now this is not to say that you must accept all advances or be with people that are not of interest to you, but what we are saying is that many people are offering love to you on a daily basis but it may not be the love that matches your pictures or the love you “want.” 

Please take some time to define love. What does it mean when you love someone? How do you act? What do you offer? Please take some real time to think about how you show love. When you offer that love, is it conditional? Really think about that question. Do you want or desire something in return? Now, most people when they offer their love expect at least some kindness in return, but what if you offer it and no pleasantness is returned? Is that wasted love? Is it not worth loving that person? 

Now after you analyze how you give and show love, please take a moment to think about what love must look like in return. If someone professes to love you in a romantic way, how must they behave? How must it be shown? Do you have strict rules about this? How must a child love you or a friend or a parent? How about a pet, how do they show you love? Think about and analyze what you need love to look like. Then think about all the times it has not looked liked you wanted, but yet if you think about it, love was there. 

Please know that some people are very blocked about love. They live very prescribed lives that require that love look this way or behave that way. They cannot allow love in because they have walls of rules that say it MUST be one way or another. There are many ways to love. Put yourself in a peaceful place and imagine yourself surrounded by love. What does it feel like? How do you feel in it? Is it something you would like to have on an on-going basis?  Let it in during this exercise of peace and love for it is safe and comforting. 

We leave you in love.
