I have spent hours having a conversation about the definitions of love. They are endless and change from person to person. From one life experience to another. I arrived at this conclusion. In order to bring love into existence in my life I must fully define how I want to love someone and how I want to be loved in return. The liberation in anxiety and fear knowing my heart, knowing my true self. I challenge you to define what love is for you. In all great of detail as possible. How do you want to love? How do you want to be loved? How do you want to express and be seen? Every little detail you can think of. Write it in a journal or in your phone. If you feel like sharing here feel free.

ॐ सर्वे भवन्तु सुखिनः सर्वे सन्तु निरामयाः। सर्वे भद्राणि पश्यन्तु मा कश्चिद्दुःखभाग्भवेत। ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः॥

Here, Rumi suggests that the true task is to identify and acknowledge the barriers or obstacles that prevent love from flowing freely in your life. These barriers could be internal, such as fear, past experiences, limiting beliefs, or external, such as societal norms or expectations…

Recently I spoke with a friend and she was talking about how we are programmed throughout this life to be caught in endless cycles.. not really going anywhere our souls want to go. From the personal perspective I see that we are each ‘healing’ and letting go of attachments to older versions of ourselves, in an effort get out of these cycles. But this idea that we are healing wounds seems to suggest that there was ever something wrong or inadequate about us to begin with, which if you ask me IS the old earth programming. Heading is a verb, like change. So if you think you have to do it then maybe you’ll be doing it forever. But if there’s no more “have to do it” then what’s left? … other than this perfect moment with this perfect you! Also, a lot of times when we speak of healing we are talking about shifting around psychological belief structures. Certainly that can be useful, but… the soul doesn’t need no psychology, bc it’s not an idea. (Though shifting those belief structures may be a part of your path) But you You know what I’m sayin? Maybe a reframe would help. Instead of “healing” perhaps we are… relaxing into who we are without external input. Perhaps we are dropping the old paradigm that says “I am not enough… yet” Let me assure you, if you were not enough you would not exist. The fact that you exist means you’re a necessary part of this ecosystem, even when you think you’re not. ❤️ Food for thought! 💝 🙏 @Carrie Coffelt
