What I Know About Love

My greatest teaching about love is my ability day to day, moment to moment to give my self love. Really I am not giving my self this love at all, but actually allowing myself to receive it. To remember as my guides are always saying, to stay and breathe in the fluid love current where divine love flows always without condition or rules. As I have experienced the many challenges of life in the past year, I have to say, it is reaching for a life that reflects the love I am that has gotten me through some of the darkest nights of my soul.

So, here is what I have learned about real self love. I trust, without a doubt, that real love for self is the bridge to knowing real love with anyone else. I hope these short thoughts are helpful for you. I hope they inspire you to start a dialog with love and ask it what it has to tell you.

1. You are responsible for keeping your self in the love current, no one else can do that for you. But, rest assured, you are not alone on this path of taking 100% responsibility for loving your self. Self love does not mean that you must do it alone. When you hold your self apart from love you hold others responsible for giving you this vital spiritual nutrient. And when you hold others responsible for feeding you, you become like a child and can fall into victim consciousness. This removes you from the power that you have to make the choice to have a new experience. When you decide to bring your self back to love, again and again, over and over, you remember that you have a choice and with that choice comes the freedom to feel more love.

2. Self love means that you open your self to having new experiences rather than recycling the old pains and wounds. This means that you gather up the courage and the clarity to recognize what is not working in your life, where you keep banging your head against the wall, and say, "No more. Love would not want me to feel this way. I know that love is all around me and I will focus upon it until my life reflects it. And I call into my life the new experiences that I need to show me that I AM love and acceptance."

3. True self love is unconditional. You are enough right now to receive unconditional love. Forgive yourself for thinking that you have done anything wrong that would keep you from being loved. When you withhold love from your self because you feel you haven't done enough, made a mistake, are not good enough right now in this moment, or have caused negative experiences in your life, then you are actually perpetuating the cycle of self abuse. When you are deeply self loving you are actually holding boundaries around your own repetitive thought patterns of self criticism and allowing your self to make mistakes as a necessary part of learning about who you are and who you are not. Do not make self love a test- do not give it to your self only when you have succeeded. Give your self permission to let love melt the rigidity of this ideal. For love is the only thing that truly can.

4. Taking responsibility for other people's choices and reactions will make it more difficult to experience true self love. Learn how to watch the people in your life make their own choices with compassion and know that you can neither save them nor change them. But rather, be a beacon of love that lights the way for them should they choose to open their eyes and see it. Anchor your self in acceptance, extend your self love to those that you care about with gentle hands and words and then let love work its magic.

I have realized that as I practice each of these love really keeps me in integrity with the light that I wish to share with the world. When I remember these aspects of love life becomes a lot simpler and lighter, and in these times of such great upheaval who couldn't use more simplicity and light? The practice of receiving the reflection of love that you truly are is just that, a practice. If you keep grounding into love and staying with your self, not abandoning love, you will find your way back to the truth of who you are.

With Aloha in my heart I wish you a Happy Valentine's Day!

Divine Alignment = Empowerment = Purpose

Channeled Guidance from The Council

Have you taken a moment today to slow down your pace of movement long enough to see if you are still in alignment with your higher vision? Are you even aware of a higher vision? Constant motion can distract you from aligning with or simply knowing what your higher vision is. Conversely, just because you have not fulfilled the complete picture of your vision does not mean you are not living in alignment with it. Remember that the road leading towards manifestation of soul purpose is filled with purpose as well. The simple act of slowing down, taking a few deep breaths and inviting the Divine to sync up with your life reconnects you with authentic empowerment and with a much larger sense of your life purpose.

When you make space and time for your purpose to reveal itself to you, you are already living on purpose. Don’t make it complicated. Simply feel your intention to live with purposeful awareness of your divine self, bringing it through to your physical self. Allow that intention to form the creative flow of purposeful manifestation. From this place of positive intentionality to express the light that you are you will be guided moment to moment to create reflections of that conscious light. That is the most empowering purpose you can fulfill.

The specific form that reflection takes is the precise reflection of the qualities of the divine that you have chosen to bring forth this lifetime. Do your best not to get caught up in the form, however, because form is rapidly changing right now in your Earthly reality. The ways in which you bring conscious awareness and the light of your joy through to humanity today could very likely change direction tomorrow. As the density of the Earth place raises its vibration to meet the frequency of your core, you are simultaneously shedding the old karmic patterns allowing your essence to shine through your cells more directly.

When you slow down long enough to connect to your divine, empowered self you are open to the flow of a sudden shift that can elevate your needs for basic survival to the fulfillment of a state of thriving. Rest in the knowing that you as well as the entire Earth is in flux and without the openness to in-the-moment guidance for what next step to take you will likely engage in an unnecessary struggle. See if you can surrender the fight to know what is next and sit in the current of allowing the next right thing to find you.

When you slow down it is possible to see that not all motion is progress. Notice if you are moving just to move or if you are truly propelled by a longing in your soul. We suggest that you keep your focus upon the intention to bring the light of your true divine nature into your physical being and to allow your pace, your movement and your creations to be a reflections of that intention.

And so it is.
