Healing Love

Love is who we are, what we are seeking, and how we want to be received. Love is the most simple and most intricately complex aspect of life. Love teaches, love hurts and love heals. Remember to love yourself first.

Love is the Answer - What is Your Question?

Love is the answer. It always is and always has been. But what is love? First, we need to be really clear about what we mean by love. Next, it is essential to understand why love is always the answer.

Think of any problem:

* a problem in one of your current relationships
* a problem with your finances or your career
* a problem with one of your family members
* a problem with your self-esteem, self-acceptance, appearance, health

Now, think of the way you approach your specific problems.

- Do you generally feel upset, angry, resentful and at the effect of others?
- Do you usually spend time and energy worrying about or escaping from your problems?
- Do you often feel sorry for yourself because you do not have the support you need?
- Do you envy others who have succeeded where you have failed?

Seems to me, your problem - whatever it is - is not the problem at all.
The problem, as I have come to understand it, is that you are out of sync with love.
It is that simple.

Now, think of your problems in a new light, imagining that you have all the love you could possibly need to support you, to show you the best way to handle the situation or dilemma,
to help you overcome obstacles, remove blocks, heal from traumas, and eliminate negative emotions.

How would you then handle:

* a problem in one of your current relationships
* a problem with your finances or your career
* a problem with one of your family members
* a problem with your self-esteem, self-acceptance, appearance, health

It becomes a lot easier to cope with life's inevitable struggles when you know you are loved, when you know without a doubt that you have real live people that will stand by you, support you, lend a helping hand and uplift you when you need to lean on someone else.

The trick is to utilize your amazing brain to simulate, in your imagination, all the love you could ever possibly want. Every day, when you awaken, sit quietly for just one minute, and fill your mind and body with the definite sense that you are loved and taken care of. Close your eyes and visualize your life with the current problems or dilemmas already resolved. Then, begin your day with a sense of hope - that somehow, in some way that you do not yet comprehend, all will be okay.

At night, regardless of how difficult, frustrating, painful or confusing your day turned out to be, just before you go to sleep, once again spend only one minute visualizing your life the way you truly want it to be - regardless of how the circumstances of your life are continuing to evolve. Find a way to emotionally step back, take a back seat, observe you and your life from a distant perspective. Find a way to love that special, unique being, you, that person who is craving love and support, that person who could become anything he or she desires with enough love.

Find a spark of love, for yourself, right in the midst of whatever chaos, turmoil, rage and negativity you are currently experiencing. Find that small spark and ignite it, every single morning and every single evening. Give the gift of love, to yourself, for just one single minute every day, one minute of love for you, only for you, no matter who else is asking, needing and taking from you.

Love is the answer. Add love into your life and watch what happens!
