The Truth about Love
As humans, the concept of love can feel complicated. We get lost in the drama and pain of “love” that has ended or been somehow unrequited. We are told “love hurts.” What is love really ?
Love is the most powerful force in the universe.
Love can heal any wound. Any emotion you feel is a call for love – it shows you right where some part of you is calling out for love in the form of acceptance, acknowledgement, or forgiveness. Any ache or pain you feel is your body communicating a message to you that has been previously overlooked or ignored.
Only love is real. Everything else is a temporary misunderstanding.
The love you feel for yourself, a child, a pet or another person goes on forever and survives beyond the death of this lifetime. Everything else – fear, anger, mistrust, sadness – are merely temporary misunderstandings that fall away at death. The process of healing ourselves is a process of learning to allow the light of love to shine on the parts of our bodies, our thoughts, our memories that have been trapped in the darkness of misunderstanding. Misunderstanding takes the form of fear, guilt, shame, worry, regret, anger and the like. Love acts as the great metaphysical salve that allows those parts of us held in the dark to be seen, accepted, held and allowed to once again experience the light of the universe.
Your higher self exists in a state of love. Every time you are loving, kind, forgiving, and compassionate to yourself and others, you are being your higher self. Learn to love everything in your life – every feeling, thought, and action you take. Think of yourself as a beautiful, loving person, doing the best you know how to grow and evolve.” – Sonaya Roman
Why Raise Consciousness?
I believe that the most important thing any of us can do for ourselves, our families and planet earth is to raise our consciousness. People with higher levels of consciousness think, decide and take action in ways that that are vastly different than people with lower levels of consciousness. I believe this difference is the missing link that will help humanity be able to choose love instead of fear, peace instead of war, acceptance instead of judgment, abundance instead of scarcity and environmental healing instead of environmental degradation.
What is Consciousness?
The way I’m defining consciousness is the awareness and understanding that we are all connected to each other and everything else on planet earth and the broader universe. We are perfect souls inhabiting perfectly designed bodies and we have inside of us access to all of the information we need in order to to heal our wounds and live a fulfilling and joyous life. The messages we need to do this are being communicated to us from our soul (or higher self) through our bodies, emotions, relationships and experiences we are having in our lives. We just may not know this is the case, and even if we do, we might not know how to “hear” these messages and take action on them. Raising consciousness in my view is the process of understanding the nature of our realities (we are creating 100% of it 100% of the time) and how we can develop our internal guidance system to create a reality that is better suited to our soul’s highest purpose for this lifetime.
How does raising our consciousness help us?
The process of raising consciousness helps us to:
- Heal our wounds (including wounds that I never knew existed),
- Heal our relationships with our spouses, partners, family and friends,
- Understand and accept that frustrating and disappointing situations, no matter how painful at the time, are all part of my life’s journey,
- Stimulate a desire for meaning in our lives
We’d like to help and encourage others to be able to identify, interpret an understand the wisdom locked inside of themselves to help them live healthier, happier, and more productive lives.
