Redefining Love

What is love? Where does it come from? What does it look like? Is it a commodity that can be handed out? If so, what do you have to do to get it? And, why do you even want it? Have you ever been in love? Is this even possible?

I believe that ‘love’ is an essential vibration that emanates from the core of my being. When I am "in love" I am simply in alignment with my deep center. Relaxed, open, and accepting, I am free from resistance to what is. "I Am That I Am". As a result, this vibration called love emits effortlessly from me. It is not for anyone as I am unable to give it away; yet, others may be touched by it and feel good in my presence when I am "in love" with them.

Being "in love" is the same as being "in the moment". It is where and when the truth of who you are and the truth of reality are revealed. There is no seeking, grasping, giving, receiving, or doing involved in being love.

Have you ever experienced being "in love"? Do you associate love as a feeling that is generated by external stimuli? Do you think it is something that you either do for another or for yourself? Do you seek it out and look for it from others? Is your happiness dependent upon "getting it"?

There’s a lot of talk in the self-help and spiritual genres about the importance of "loving oneself". The sad thing is, this is impossible. Love is who you are; you need only relax into this truth and simply be to experience this.

I experience being "in love" by opening all of my sense organs. I release any gripping around my eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. I soften my skin and allow my pores to open. I see and feel light pouring into and out of them. I relax. I come into the moment. I stop listening to the story running through my mind. I breathe.

I open myself "in love" over and over again, numerous times each day. I shut down, realize I am shut down, and then open into love once again.

I become anxious, bored, fearful, hateful, or angry, realize I have shut down, and once again open.

I lose myself in thinking, negative thinking, realize I have shut down, and open once again.

My intention is to live "in love", to live in truth. I forget. I shut down. I realize I’m shut down and I open myself once again.

What is your intention?

Will you open into love, into truth, with me?
