Ok how do I write a blog post about the Power of Love without sounding cheesy?
I don't know if I can.
And yet this is probably one of the most important blog posts I have written so far.
Last post about Intention got me thinking about manifestation and The Secret and The Law of Attraction.
There is SO much I could write about this topic, so I decided to turn it into a course to help other people make the magic happen in their lives.
But first, we need to explore the idea of Love, not the traditional romantic love, but Love.
What is Love?
Love is a vibration
The ultimate vibration. The highest vibration.
Think of love as a scale, and every emotion, or situation can fall anywhere on this scale from
Lacking Love<-------->Love Abundant
When we see this scale we can put hate and shame and war and stubbing your toe or whatever other 'negative' thing on the "lacking love" end of the scale. We can put other 'positive' things like joy, laughter, romance, success, magnanimity on the "love abundant" side.
If we look at life this way, we might understand that all things are variations and vibrations of love.
Even if you have more of the Taoist or Star Wars paradigm of life (the Light and the Dark, needing both sides for perfect balance), we could say that the Light side is the side of Love and the Dark side is the side lacking Love.
What That Means for You
So if love is a vibration, and we can affect our vibration, like the tuning of a radio, then we can bring more love into our lives
If we can bring more love into our lives, we can change circumstances, experiences, health and more.
This is important for Manifesting because, if you're like me, many of us get caught up in obsessing about outcomes.
Where do you think obsession falls on the scale of Lacking Love to Love Abundant??
Yeah, lacking.
When you obsess about something, you are in fact confirming you don't have it.
So you keep manifesting that you don't have it. Ugh!
Just take it back to love.
When you love, the whole world is attracted to you. The Universe listens to hear what you want to create, that's how powerful Love is.
Increase Our Love Power
As a vibration, love can be increased and depleted. We live in a world where it is difficult to feel more joy and happiness than anxiety and complacency. Here are some ways to increase the Love in your life.
1. Love Elixir. With Rose, Sandalwood, Jasmine and other essential oils, this blend was formulated to align you with the vibration of higher love. I keep in by my bed stand to put on each morning to begin my day with love, and deeply inhale it while counting my blessings. I also have some in my purse to put on when I am feeling low to increase feelings of sensuality and warmness.
2. Loving Kindness Meditation. This meditation is a god send for dissolving resentments, and attracting love in your life. By thinking about sending blessings to others and cultivating a sincere emotion of compassion for others, the world returns you the love three fold. So imagine doing this exercise every day and what kind of benefits it would have in your life.
3. Chakra Balance. Passion originates from you Sacral Chakra, and Love from your Heart Chakra. Being able to meditate with these chakras, focus on their colors, eat orange and green foods, put your hands over their energy centers, get Reiki Healings to remove blockages: all these practices will strength you ability to feel, give, and receive love.
4. Love Box. I created this intentions box to really kick start your journey into love. With a spray, roll on blend, and rose quartz crystals, you will be set up to dive deep into your heart and make love more a part of your everyday.
5. Cultivate Self Love. Ok I have to say this I hope you'll never tire of hearing it: All love starts as self love. How can you love someone or anything else if you have never experienced the feeling and vibration from within your own body, your own being? Love will become more pure and more enduring when you first give it to yourself. I promise learning this love will make every-single-thing in your life much easier. You will be able to attract more beneficial things in your life when you engage in this 'self-love' practices (find some of my favorite self care practices here to start the journey toward self love .
How to Show More Love
I'm finding it extra important during these time to extend grace and compassion to my fellow quarantiners as we explore our new roles in a new world.
Simply put, we are all facing difficult times, so we all need love.
Here are some ways to share the Love
1. Be Supportive. We all need a little extra grace during these times to mess up, over-react, and explore our feelings. Let people know you are there to support their personal exploration and emotions. You don't have to say much to be supportive. People are experiencing huge spiritual and emotional growth spurts in this time, we can't hinder that by trying to solve their problems, or moderate their feelings.
2. Hold Space. The other night I cried on the phone with my sisters. I was going to miss our Happy Hour call while I lay in my dark room trying not to fall to pieces, because I like to hoard my bigger emotions. Instead I joined the FaceTime call, with a blanket wrapped around my head, trying to hold it together. They gently reminded me they could tell something was on my mind, and to let it out. I cried. For about 10 minutes straight. And no one told me to 'be positive' or tried to advice me out of my emotions. They listened and empathized. That's love.
3. Say a prayer. My very Catholic grandmother gave me a decades-old prayer book last week, and I stumbled across a prayer for the lonely. It touched my heart. Send love and compassion for all the people out there right now who are lonely, afraid, and need an energetic hug. The prayer goes something like this "Ease the feelings of loneliness of all people...Be their companion and strengthen them against feelings of insecurity and despair. I ask you...that I might become aware of those around me who are feeling alone. Help me to make that extra effort...to help ease someone else's lonely times as so often others have reached out to me"
4. Walk a Mile. That prayer transitions nicely into this next way of spreading love; put yourself in their shoes, whoevers' shoes. When I am able to try my darndest to understand someone else and their experience or emotion, I am able to be more kind and compassionate. This has been especially helpful when dealing with loved ones. Before I react to something, I try to see things from their views, ask more questions, and then empathize.
5. Smile. Like a full smile, not that no lip nonsense smile. Extend a full and genuine smile to people as you pass them. Right now that might be hard if you are wearing a mask, but it will make you more conscious of all the times you could be sharing a smile with a stranger. I used to avoid smiling at people because I didn't want to be caught up in small talk, but I have now come to think that the sharing of a connection with my fellow people is more important than my fear of getting chatted up.
6. Laugh. Sometimes I take myself way too seriously, and when I do that, my feelings are hurt way more often. That is a symptom of a fragile ego, which can come from a lack of self love and acceptance. But anyway, when I am able to laugh at things, most things, any things, a couple things happen. -my feelings are not hurt -I am not in a confrontation with anyone -my brain starts to see things as genuinely funny -the day becomes more joyful -people laugh with me -and I turned a Low Love situation into a Love Full situation.
^A lot of these tips come from turning a less than positive situation into a situation more full of Love. It is a very simple things, that requires a lot of practice. You can see that the Power of Love lies in your hands and you mind to make something more or less loving.
What Love Is
Love is not conditional. It doesn't change day to day or year to year what or who you love. Love is a vibration. Not just a feeling
Love is universal. Can you find what you love in all things?
Love is alchemy. It will change even the most negative things into the most beautiful
Love is accepting. It will take no side, and have no judgement.
Love is everything. Even in terrible things, love is present, you just have to fan it's flame and increase it's light.
You are Love. You are a co-creator, it all originates from within you.
