Love is kind in its purest form, but it is also gentle. It is sustainable and pure. It has no limits, restrictions or needs approval. It is an honest expression of the heart. It lets down its walls and embraces the whole of the object of its desire and affection. With pure love, there is no reason to hurt or shame. There is no reason to slander or change. It has no reason to feel obligated or dismissive. It has no want to bring forth guilt, fear or anxiety. It is in its true form, the most forgiving, grateful, accepting, honest feeling and action one has or will ever know.

As you embody love through distortion it morphs and changes the purity into conditional, fear-based acceptance. The distortions you are linked to from your life trauma condition you to place restrictions and try to control who you love. You fear love itself. The fear of pain, suffering and experiencing past trauma in a future experience are debilitating. This is the adolescence in the human form fighting to be heard, loved and cherished. But love has no need to control It just is love.

To get through this phase is to connect to your inner child, your soul and source / spirit. Your inner child is the one who experienced the distortions. Experienced the trauma which created the distortions that changed the way you experienced life and learned to love. To most of the world, love is not unconditional. Love is conditional. If you behave this way, you receive love and praise. Even dogs understand this. If you do something wonderful, you’ll get rewarded. To the human psyche, it is difficult to be fully authentic, when those who raised you are breaking the spirit of your inner child as they did you as a child. To heal this, it is necessary to turn within and communicate with the inner child. Ask your inner child what they need, how they feel and what will make them feel better. Bring them along in life. The only way out of this feeling is by turning inward.

The more you turn within, you can do without the fear paradigm you’ve integrated through your suffering. When you can do without that pre-programmed suffering, you find what is. This is easier said than done. But the first step in communicating and inviting your inner child along for the ride of life itself. By giving your inner child what it never received. Only you know what you did not receive and only you know in what capacity to give yourself that which you are so strongly starved for.

The next step after that is staying present. How is that possibly when the mind moves a million miles an hour and overanalyzes everything down to the tiniest detail? It starts with breath. It starts by connecting to the inner body, feeling the energy move throughout every cell, organ and vein. Feel it pulsing and bringing that life force within you. Feel your body vibrating and humming with life. Feel your energy field that exists internally waking up after being dormant for so long. When your mind is that overactive, your internal force field begins to quiet and enter a sleep phase. The more you breathe and the more you connect to yourself, it begins to reawaken. Next, embody every sense. What do you see? What do you hear? What aromatic scent fills the air? What taste is on your tongue through the food you’re eating or the air you’re breathing in? Acknowledge all of it without judgment. Be open to everything and by doing that, you begin to quiet the inner mind. When you quiet the inner mind the egoic mind has no power and you are fully present in the moment.

When you are fully present in the moment, all of your senses are activated. It keeps your mind from reacting to the past or the future. It is the ego that wants to envelop you with fear of past events or the possibility of future suffering. Nothing is happening in the past. It is already done. You open the door, acknowledge it and let it go. I cannot hurt you in the present moment. The future hasn’t happened yet. If you are learning from past mistakes, then the future cannot hurt you the way the past did. If the future hasn’t happened yet, then why let your ego cause stress and anxiety over a non-event? When you eliminate the past and the future, all that is left, is the present moment. You can accept the present moment, or you can fight it. When you fight the present moment, you are giving into fear and letting the ego take the wheel and drive the vehicle of your body, mind and life. When you let go and surrender, then you can face your intuition and allow yourself to be in harmony with you soul. Your soul is pure love. You soul wants to stop and smell the roses. Your ego wants you to wait or to rush. When you accept your life and surrender to the present moment you exist in your soul’s core.

 What you truly embody and what your soul carries in its core is love. You are love. You give love. The more open to receiving love, the closer you get to spirit. You are one of the most beautiful creations. You just have to realize it yourself. When you can connect to your inner child, stay present and accept your life as it is, then it transforms into the manifestations of your desire. Nothing vibrates higher than love and nothing marries love more than gratitude and compassion. When you exist in a state of love, compassion and gratitude, you become one with spirit. Spirit only wants the best for you. Release the mind and step into the power of love, the power of goodbye to your past and the power of hello to the present. This makes your future undeniably full of love and miracles.
