What are your obstacles to Love?
I have been noticing more and more people willing to talk about Love these days! Love is a frequency/vibration we can all tap into anytime we want.
A few months I was sitting in a circle with other Matrix Leadership friend and this subject came up. I quoted Rumi…“Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.”
She then asked me what were mine? I noticed my heart pounding and body tighten. I felt a little vulnerable to share. I remember taking a deep breath, since I was going to share parts of me that I prefer not to. I am sure you have had that experience;-)
I said that what I notice blocks my ability to love unconditionally was that I judge things. I have been taught to judge things. We all have, through our education, religions, family patterns etc.
When I judge anyone or anything, I am not loving that thing, situation or person.
The other one I owned was in that judgment of whatever, emotions can arise. Some are anger, hurt, resentment, which places me on the draining side of the emotional landscape! Draining my inner battery even more, keeping me stuck in the drain.
There are many ways to plug this leak! First is being aware of what my mind is doing. You can notice what is happening in your body. Does what I am thinking and feeling move me closer to the unconditional love I am seeking? Does my body contract with this thought? Awareness is key, and doing so without judgment. Being the neutral observer .
She went on to own how she keeps the Presence of Love blocked in her. As the group listened others joined in with what keeps them out of the vibration of Love.
I have read many books and listened to many podcasts on Love, with the sincere desire to understand, all were saying basically the same thing.
As we learn to open our hearts, listen deeply to the guidance of this inner GPS, we ultimately find another perception. One that is more inclusive of different points of view. One that doesn’t make others wrong, just different from ours.
So I ask you, when dealing with employees, friends, family members, neighbors and world events……”what are your obstacles to seeing through the eyes and heart of LOVE? Having compassion for who is in front of you, as they maybe having a hard time about something. I believe we are all doing the best we can in each moment, when I have this thought my heart softens and opens.
Begin to imagine this, as we all do this just a little more often, perhaps we could collectively create a world based more on Love and less on Fear.
