Hello!
The presence of love in our life is a given. We have an unlimited supply in us and we just have to know how to turn the flow on. Whether we believe in God or not, we are created with, through and for love. We are love.
Now whether we believe that or not, does make a difference. If we believe it we will tend to look for our ‘on’ switch. If we don’t believe we were made with, through and for love we will tend to aimlessly go through life looking for it in all the wrong places…outside of our very own self.
Finding the faucet to turn on the flow of love is an inside job.
We have all we need within. Just learn how to access the supply and all will be well with your soul.
Here are five choices you can make today to turn on (or increase) your flow:
1) Sing a song, do a dance, express your love for life as often as you can. The choice to sing, dance or any way express your love for life will send a signal out to the world (even if you are alone, as this is a spiritual thing) that you are a beacon of love and love is what you seek to share. It will flow right back to you.
2) Say ‘thank-you’ for at least three “things” as often as you can. Say it loud because you are proud to be grateful. Saying thank-you will increase that which you are thankful for. So be thankful for love, for sure. Be thankful for life, for joy, for peace, for whatever degree of health you do have, for all that you have that add value to your life – be specific.
3) Breathe and be still as often as you can. Well, yes, I do know that you breathe continually anyway and that’s pretty often – lol. But I mean a different kind of breath. A deep diaphragmatic breath that gets major oxygen into your lungs. Take several seconds to draw the breath in and hold in for as many. Then release the air slowly and deliberately, being as still as you can be. Be present in that very moment and feel the joy of life. Being still means get the constancy of thoughts to stop. A challenge no doubt; but the benefits of stilling the mind are many. Quieting the mind will have you hear the deep wishes of your heart.
4) Forgive and release all that is blocking the flow of love as often as you can. Grudges, guilt, shame, regret, anger, doubt, unforgiveness…they all and each block the love that is within you from flowing out and that which is out trying to get in as well. When these negative energies exist in us (through our own illusions of negativity) they take up space and become heavier each day. Release all and be free to love and be loved.
5) Imagine the flow of love in your life as often as you can. Our imagination is powerful. It is our “success (or sadly, failure) machine.” Maxwell Maltz talked about it in his amazing book Psycho-Cybernetics. With our imagination we have the power to align all the forces in our body, mind and spirit – or not. Our body operates on the basis of goal achievement…all the systems, organs and processes work to accomplish specific ends to keep us alive and well. The body ‘understands’ and operates under the power of organized effort.
The imagination has the ability to conjure up pictures and stories and visualizations of what the mind has decided upon – or the opposite, if those are the thoughts and visualizations we choose to engage in. By getting the imagination constructively and positively involved in the process of finding what you seek, you are calling in the big guns. When aligned with your goals, the imagination is what adds the fuel and continued motivation and inspiration to take right actions.
Very often we set goals (like turning on the flow of your love from within) and we sabotage our self by having thoughts and imaginings that do NOT support what we seek. We take wrong actions – actions that steer us away from our goals. I am suggesting that you use your powerful imagination to increase the flow of love in your life. Imagine the flow internally…flowing all through your body as you drink water perhaps. Become creative with your imagination and see yourself as vividly as possible being a vessel of love. Imagine yourself sharing that love freely. Spend as many minutes as you can sitting in a very relaxed state imagining your flow of love reaching as far and as wide as you’d like.
Make these five choices daily and watch your flow of love become an unending and abundant flow that brings joy to the world.
Notice all choices are phrased in terms of “as often as you can.” It’s an easy answer, why that is; you want a flow that is continuous, not drip, drip, drip…so your actions have to be as consistent as possible. It’s a mindset and lifestyle of love we are after, not an occasional occurrence. Daily activity in these areas will maximize your benefits.
Wishing you an abundance of love, peace and joy,
♥~
