What does LOVE mean to you?

//LOVE

I believe in Love
I believe in that deep mind blowing
unreasonable
Fierce
Crazy
Beautiful
LOVE!!

what about you?

In fact sometimes I sit here, and think about the capacity in which I have to love
those in my life.
and holy sh*t it EXCITES ME!

See here’s the thing
I believe in order to truly understand love
you must first surrender to it.
and its then, from that moment forward to live a life of happiness,
ALWAYS ALWAYS CHOOSE LOVE.

NO MATTER
WHO
WHAT
OR
WHEN

I believe its a process of healing, so you can find your way back to your true authentic self, and live your birth right life, of Freedom, Love and Joy.

Now I’m not just talking about my tree hugging
spiritual gangsta side. LOL
I am absolutely freaken certain that when you stay
open to love, and the possibilities of what love truly is.
Your individual journey and life experience is enriched, magnified to an altitude
that elevates your life experience, in a whole new way,
where more miracles then flow in with ease, every single day.

Today when i was in silence I reflected on all the relationships
I have had in my life
family
friendships,
business
parenting
partnerships.

WOAH! The initial feeling was like a tornado of emotions.
I had to inhale and exhale super deep.
I really have had SO much growth !!

Each experience brought
excitement, pain, confusion, clarity, fear, & unexpected, unreal, divine, funny, moments…
But most of all
every experience showed me something truly magical about myself.
even when at the time I felt like i was going to die (loL)
I Learned something deeper and more profound about myself and what love truly is.

It’s funny because
I often hear people say
“love hurts”
(have you heard yourself say this before?)

Well I call BULLSHIT!

Love only hurts when you have attachments.

I believe love is truly magnificent
love is an honour
love is the essence of our soul
love is AUTHENTIC
love is raw
love is real
LOVE IS YOU!
and when you deny love
you are denying yourself of something
EXTRAORDINARY.

See heres the other thing.

In so many relationships there is polarity, where feminine and masculine energies are not in balance, and then you have that blended in with the different types of  love languages, where each individual responds differently to a predominate value of love.

If you haven’t heard of the best seller book “the 5 love languages” then you need to go read it!

There is a reason this bestseller charts for years, selling upwards of seven million copies and landing on the #1 spot of the New York Times best-seller list. the Author Dr D Chapman has been directly involved in relationship counseling for more than 35 years.

But back to my view how love can “hurt”. When we are hurt by an experience that involves LOVE, or we have attached to the “idea” of love and what it should be like, and that has nplot ayed out the way we wanted,

We often wrap that traumatic experience up, in a little cocoon and unconsciously store it away for a rainy day.  And that rainy day is when a storm brews, over something or someone who triggers it

and wait for it ….

KA BOOM!!! All of a sudden energy shifts & the energy is overwhelming and we can often go into “shut down’ mode, (or what I like to say) is ‘eruption’ mode.

Where we decide “Love is not for me, it hurts too much!!”

Well as i stated above, I call BS!

Because to me understanding love and choosing to believe in the extraordinary feeling & connection you get to experience when you stay open to Love. (weither its lasting or not) IS truly honouring your soul.

What ever you do, make sure you Live with intention and embrace the journey toward self love. Because if you truly love yourself internally, you can then authentically project that love externally toward others with ease and flow.
