Summer can feel the most wonderful season if your heart is wide open and you are “giving and receiving love in equal measure” as we at Zephorium say on our green heart chakra bottles! It took me a long time to open my heart to summer. If our hearts close through fear, shame, heartache and grief we can find it a tricky season to navigate.
We all want to be ‘in love’ don’t we? But that suggests that we are somewhere ‘out of’ love in the wings away from the action. Waiting for the magic to arrive before we can be truly happy.
I am not a great fan these days of terms such as ‘falling in love,’ because where are we falling from? And why would we want to fall from somewhere in order to ‘be’ somewhere else? Surely a healthier statement would be “I am staying in love and others can join me there if they wish.” We talk of finding our steady place first. Finding the love within ourselves before we can learn to love others from a place of consistency and truth. At some point, if we have emotionally ‘left’ ourselves to be ‘in love somewhere else’ we may at some point fall ‘out of love’ if that person, place or thing doesn’t satisfy our needs.
It feels as if love has many shades and variants. Love for family, partner, children, pets or simply for life. We seem to think turning it on and off is normal? What if it is not? How would our life, beliefs and thoughts be different if we could really believe that “love flows towards me from every direction. I relax into peace” as we say on our second pink heart bottle. If there was no falling ‘In or out,’ no on and off button surely, we would just feel that unstoppable, relentless love that is all around us which has created every atom in our Universe.
What would our lives be like if we learnt to love equally? Is it even possible? When I struggle with life or events i ask the universe to show me the situation through the eyes of Source Energy. I try to relax and let images and thoughts flow through my mind without trying to change them. I want to see the bigger picture, which is always bigger and more loving than anything I could ever have come up with. What would life be like if I could love an ant as much as my dog? I think I have some practicing to do!
Have a lovely heart opening summer filled with positivity.
With love
