Open to Love

In any given moment, one is either closed or open to Love.  In choosing to open, you allow yourself to unite fully with not only your true Essence but Truth itself.  Truth is Love and Love is Truth.

The Forms of Representation

Love takes various forms, the most common thought of representation being the union of two people.  Love is inherent in everything, though, and as you open to Love you will notice that its simple quality weaves together your world.  Trust, joy, acceptance, peace, awareness, relief, and healing are all forms of Love.

Equally, negative emotions are forms of Love when perceived as signals of closing to Love.  They give insight into darkness one must liberate him or her self from to unite fully with Truth.  Even when appearing from the outside the negativity often indicates inner fear.  No worries, Love purifies.

Experiences, objects, people, partnerships – disgruntled or happy, thoughts, emotions, and gestures are just a few forms that Love takes in daily life.  It is important to note that Love is limitless and as you open to the Love within and without an increase of awareness will take place.  Love is a gift and so are you.

Closing to Love

The first step in opening to Love is noticing how you close.  It is very simple.

Life presents us exactly what we need to grow in opening to, embracing, and Living Love.  You can argue with this, but you won’t win.  Love always wins and when you close to Love you prevent yourself from feeling it fully.  That hurts. 

You may numb out in one form or another when you feel hurt, bored, frustrated, fearful, questioning, or in any state other than Love.  If you are in an interaction you may react negatively or close down emotionally.

It is also possible to close to Love when things are going well.  It sounds mad and essentially it is, but people do it often.  Thoughts come in to shut off the Love.  This is entirely in your domain, though, you are the one who gets to choose…

Notice first the sensations in your body when you do this.  Witnessing the mental story, rather than allowing yourself to be it also helps.  You are not your story.  Believing that you are your story forces a closing to Love.  (Even if your story is great it is only a part of your vast existence that right now exists in the past, which in truth does not exist – yee ha you are created anew in each Now moment.)

Through regular meditation and presence practice you will enhance your ability to connect with the opening and closing to Love.  Anything that causes a tension or contraction in your energy field indicates a closing.

Love Lives You

Every cell of your Being is Living through Love.  As you choose to connect deeply with this Truth, you can open to it and experience yourself as such.  It is completely up to you how you proceed in this understanding and it is available for each human to grasp.

As mentioned, Life is always presenting us with what we can benefit from in the way of growing in Truth and Love.  There may be times when staying open is at first perceived as painful… or impossible.

It is the closing that causes the pain.

Imagine your physical heart – pumping blood to every part of your body and back and through and the continual, free flow that facilitates a healthy body.  For you to experience the Love that you are, that is in every thing, person, and no thing, you get to facilitate the open flow of Love to and from your all of your Life experiences.

Choosing to Open

Love flows in you, to you, through you - you decide how much of that you feel.

It is really as simple as making a choice to open when you notice yourself closing.  There is a gift present in the pain as Love washes the pain away.  In the momentary movement to open your whole Being to the Love present in any given situation you allow the stories to fade and your true Light and Love to shine.

Feel the opening in the center of your chest and allow yourself to open completely from your heart expanding to your whole Being – and beyond.  Breathe and allow your openness to cleanse any form you perceive as other than Love.  Receive the gifts all around you as you intentionally connect and allow yourself to open and merge with Life. 

In practice you will realize that only ideas can stop you from experiencing and Living Love.  You can liberate yourself from those ideas in any moment by simply opening to Love.
