When I realized that what matters most is saying yes to love, I invited love into my life, saw that it’s an inside job, that it’s always been there, and that love does make the world go round.
Louise Hay, the inspiring author of You Can Heal Your Life says:
“We have so much love in this world, and we have so much love in our hearts, and sometimes we forget. Sometimes we think there isn’t enough, or there is just a small amount. So we hoard what we have or we are afraid to let it go. We are afraid to let it out.
But those of us who are willing to learn, realize that the more love we allow to flow out from us, the more there is within us and the more we receive. It is endless and timeless.
Love is really the most powerful healing force that there is. Without love we could not survive at all. If tiny babies are not given love and affection, they wither and die. Most of us think we can survive without love, but we cannot. Love for ourselves is the power that heals us. Practice as much as you can.”
Jeannette Maw, (an amazing Law of Attraction Coach) agreed that lack of self-love was at the bottom of my being stuck in the areas of love and money and sent me her e-book: The Art of Self-Love: Your Essential Key to Successful Manifesting. It’s full of tips on how to fall hopelessly in love with yourself. I see that my relationship with myself is a mirror of all my relationships and that practicing true self-love has a powerful ripple effect.
The roads will be lined with stuffed animals, chocolates and flower arrangements and I’m already thinking about what to get my new love while keeping the focus on what its really about, LOVE.
I’ve been growing my ‘say yes to love” muscle by practicing a meditation shared by Baba Ram Dass in Be Love Now. Say to yourself, “I am loving awareness”. Focus your attention in the middle of your chest on the heart-mind. Breathe in love and breathe out love. Watch all of the thoughts that create the stuff of your mind and love everything you can be aware of. Just love.
I’m not limiting myself to romance this valentine’s season. I’m including everything and everyone in my loving awareness, opening up my heart and saying yes to love.
