To expect that Love will keep you safe and secure is utterly missing the point. To truly, deeply love unconditionally means no safety net, no boundaries. You can not be assured that your beloved will love you back. You can not be sure that the object of your love will appreciate the wild abandon with which you love. Love is not socially constrained. It doesn’t always play ‘nice’. Its job is to fill you to bursting with itself, so that you feel no choice but to share it with those around you. When we feel challenged by Love, our instincts are to close down. If we chose to open instead, we’d find our capacity for love would increase. Love always asks us to open, to grow larger. It’s always asking us to remember who we really are. We feel challenged by Love because we don’t feel worthy of unconditional love. When we experience great love, some part of us doesn’t believe it’s real and shuts down. But it is real, and we are worthy. How can we open to this wild thing? How can we invite Love into our lives?1. Gratitude will help you align with Love. Energetically, gratitude resonates at approximately the same vibration as love. When you feel the absence of love in your life, focus on things that help you feel gratitude. This will raise your vibration and allow you to receive more love.2. Forgiveness is one of the hardest lessons known to humankind. Holding unforgiveness in your heart, either against others or yourself will keep love from taking up permanent residence. The hardest person to forgive is yourself, but when you do you will create more room for love.3. Honesty with yourself and others will also create space for more love. When you can share your feelings honestly, it frees up lots of energy and makes room for more love. This includes being honest with yourself about how you’re feeling, even if it means admitting to feeling bad, lonely, or frightened. 4. Creating community for yourself will allow you to open to more love. This includes finding confidants, mentors and disciples. It allows you to share yourself with confidants, learn from mentors and share what you know with disciples. In all that sharing and growing, love thrives.Yes, I am talking about a love that is much larger than romantic love. But romantic love is part of this greater love, so inviting Love in will help you create and nurture romantic love. It will help you be a better lover and it will help you attract someone who is willing to open to Love. Reply to this Article
