Open up & receive True Love

I think we all yearn for a true genuine experience of ‘Love’ with another. There are a million billion expressions of true love; each one patiently awaiting the perfect recipient… I believe true love is always ready, willing and waiting for us to receive and enjoy its splendor. We only need to remove our internal barriers, and live in trust and hope.

Of all of the delightful and desirable experiences in life, none surpass the elevation of what is, ‘True Love’. Within the meaning of this simple phrase holds a sacred feeling we all long to know and express. I’d love to share my definition of true love, and invite you to write down your own special meaning of todays’ blog topic.

True love is the shared experience of being connected, complete, enriched and alive that grows through reciprocation.

True Love is always reciprocated… it’s wanting to spend all your time together, despite knowing you can never get enough. Your heart always knows true love (while your head can struggle to accept it), moments flow, trust, openness and reliability are mutually shared and forgiveness is extended easily.

Unfortunately after so many unsatisfying experiences on the quest for true love… you can begin to feel lost. It can seem easier to give up hope, and simply presume true love doesn’t exist, than to risk opening up to the hurt again. But eventually I believe we all continue to seek it; we are all driven to find our own expression of a love that is true.

If we use our past to try and predict the future then we become stuck in a never ending cycle of re-creating the less than glorious reflections of love… But if we use our past to learn the contrast, or what’s not of ‘true love’, then we allow ourselves to draw nearer to it with each experience. 

So, how do we unconsciously block ourselves from receiving true love: 

·        We get jealous of others in love

It’s so important to honor the love you see in others, pay attention to how they feel together… Allow yourself to feel that feeling when you see others in love.

·        We try to ‘figure out’ how to find our true love

We only try to figure out where love is when we doubt that it will come to us. Live in faith and trust that true love is coming to you.

·        We worry we aren’t good enough for our true love

Focusing on why you won’t/can’t receive love will repel love further away. Exactly as we are right now, we are worthy of the gift of true love.

·        We treat ourselves unlovingly

Expecting another to love us when we are being unloving to ourselves is like trying to swim without getting wet.

·        We wait for love (stop living and enjoying life)

When we live in desperation for love, we are feeding the fear that it will not come and actively distance ourselves from receiving it.

·        We talk about what we’ll do if we don’t find our true love

Once again imagining a future based on our fear creates a future fulfilling our fears

·        We try to make someone our ‘True Love’

True love cannot be forced, cajoled, fooled, manipulated, delayed, procrastinated, or avoided… it will come at the perfect time and is a gift that can only be received not manufactured.

Q: True love sounds too ‘fairy tale’ for me… I doubt there is any true love for me out there. 

A: It’s true that some people don’t enjoy the notion of true love, and if that’s not what you want then that’s a great thing to know about yourself. The case most often is that the true skeptics are almost always the true love die hard romantics who keep their inner most longings tucked away.

Q: What if I don’t feel ready to meet my true love?

A: Then that is great to know, remember the universe is always in perfect synchronicity. If you’re not ready, then your true love will be getting ready for you too. Trust the pause is allowing you both to develop and grow until the perfect time comes for you to meet.

Q: What if the man/woman I think is my true love, doesn’t feel the same way towards me

A: He/She is a sign post to help you acknowledge the traits and attributes you know will belong to your true love. Thank him/her and continue to open up to receive your true love. True love is always reciprocated; you will both love one another more than you ever thought was possible.

Q: What if I attract someone who is not my idea of true love?

A: Great, this is contrast, they are sent to you to help you continue to refine your idea of what your true love is for you. Get the learning and move on to receive your true love.
