Finding Love Wherever You Are
When the world seems to be falling apart, it can help to remember that this is not all there is. I don’t mean to ignore problems and issues in our world, but to see them from a higher perspective.
At our core, we are all Love and we are all created from Love. When we get out of alignment with the Love that created us (and how many ways there are to do that!), we may lose touch with that Love, but the Love never goes away. It is always there at your center. It is always there beneath everything in our world. We just need to connect with it.
I believe this in large part because of my Spiritually Transformative Experience (STE) – something I’ve only felt comfortable sharing about in the past year even though it happened to me 15 years ago now (that’s hard to believe!). In my STE I saw a light, and saw light within everyone around me. Everyone glowed and everyone was truly beautiful. I felt so much love for the whole world, and I felt how close angels are to us. It was a deep, profound experience that changed me completely (you can read more about it here).
After the awe of my experience, I became truly depressed. The world was so beautiful at the deepest level. Why did it have to be so hard? Why were people cruel to each other? How could I see and feel all that Love and then not see it around me? I did not want to stay here after feeling all that Love. I wanted to go where all the Love was, which I thought was not on this planet, but in Heaven.
After years (I mean years!) of working it out, I was finally able to be here and accept that the Love is here, even if it’s not readily apparent. It is always here, in our hearts. When we awaken the Love that is dormant in our hearts, we can truly be ourselves and create a better world for everyone.
There are so many ways to connect with that Love. I like meditation, prayer, Reiki, and connecting with others, to name a few.
What are your favorite ways to connect with the Love in your heart? What helps you feel it? What is it like when you connect to it? How does your world change?
