February reminds us to open ourselves to LOVE. It brings us back to our hearts in the midst of busy, stressful, distracted lives. Don't be fooled by all the commercial hoo-ha around Valentine's Day. Any opportunity to bring our (and our Nation's) attention to LOVE - to put LOVE up front and center in our lives - is a good thing, a healing thing. It opens us and brings vibrancy to our Spirits and our energy.
With so many distorted messages about LOVE in our society, how do we leap beyond the commercialism and tap into the real thing? And what is the real thing? How do we know when we've tapped it? These are the kinds of questions to explore this month, and here are some tips for doing so:
LOVE is an inside-out thing. As we nourish self-love, we become more and more capable of sharing LOVE - real, unconditional LOVE - with others.
LOVE is full. Real love flows out from us to others from a place of fullness and wholeness, not lack or need. When we are filled with real LOVE inside, it overflows from us and is naturally and easily shared with and received by others.
LOVE is abundant. There is no lack of real LOVE in nature. As part of nature, we have access to an infinite amount of real LOVE. There is always plenty of LOVE for everyone, especially when everyone is full with the awareness that they are lovable.
LOVE is opening. When we claim real LOVE inside and share it outside, we open. Our hearts rest into the grace and peace of LOVE.
LOVE is healing. The flow of giving and receiving real LOVE through our Beings is healing and wipes our fears away. LOVE shines as light through the darkness of fear, and fear disappears in the presence of LOVE.
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY AND YEAR, EVERYONE!
