Greetings from Julie at ticklesandsparkles.com

I bless you with a wonderful week filled with joyful experiences and plenty of love.

Knowing What Love Is and Is Not

I know we have covered this subject so many times in our recent newsletters I hope you are up to hearing a little more about Love.

I have been asking my self why, would any one want to know more about love. What can I say that may make a difference in someone’s life including giving them a better understanding of what love is and isn’t. I have pondered this subject and really asked for divine guidance in helping my self and all of you so that we may know love. Well I am so happy to report that there is so much we have forgot about what love is and it has been happening from our very beginning of being born into this world. When we are new to this earth we know that feeling of love that comforts us and nurtures us this love comes from our parents. We then form other relationships with friends and our feelings of love start to change for we have decided that if we love our friends they are expected to return this love to us. By doing this or that for us and we will return this love by doing something in return for them.

We put conditions on our love and it is not given as freely as before. If you love me you will do this or that for me. Then we start to form relationships and these relationships are usually with the opposite sex. At first we believe that we would go to the ends of the earth for this wonderful person who is so connected to us by a mesmerizing power we humans call love. We have fallen in love and then we are engaged in this wonderful thing called marriage. We have a license to now choose one or two ways of living our married lives out. We can choose to take control or give our power to the other person. Does that sound loving? I think not! There seems to be a separation of spiritual connectedness here that is not what love is. Love is about letting go of control and is about letting your spirit live in wondrous harmony with another human being. Their spirit is willing to connect with yours on a much higher level than “what can you do for me if I give you my love”.

To many times relationships are not about letting go of self motivated ideals for the opportunity to fully experience the power of love. There seem to be hidden agendas in this thing we call love.

Love is about “allowing” without any preconceived notion of what should or should not take place while we are experiencing it. Just because something happened in your past with this person or another person that you were in love with does not mean that you must carry this burden through out your life with out ever being in love again. You are the only one who is blocking yourself from experiencing love at the most highest levels of wonderfulness. By putting conditions on love you are dismantling it and bringing your earthly conditions into the experience of just being in love. God wants you to experience love in the fullest expression of what love really is and not what you have learned from this earthly experience you may be having right now. “Love is the feeling, the experience and the miracle that we have been given to let our spirit be free”. How do you find this Love? By letting go of all thoughts of how you will control it once you have found it. By opening your heart to the feeling and joyfulness of just being you and allowing love to enter at will. Love never places conditions on our heart. We as humans do this through our ego. Our ego tells us that there must be something in it for us. Our ego tells us that we are not ready to love for we might get hurt. Our ego says that if someone has hurt us then it is possible and probable that it will happen again. We are so conditioned through our past experiences that we have lost sight of what love is. We only know what we want it to be and the experience we want to feel from it. Wow! That is ego speaking again to our hearts.

I ask you to think about love in a different way than you have ever thought of it. Think about the feelings that you feel when love is present within you. Take a moment to think about when you first fell in love and how wonderful it felt. There were no conditions you just knew you were in love you felt a wonderful connection like never before with the person you fell in love with. Take away all the structure you and your beloved have put into the relationship and remember the connectedness that has always been there and that you may have forgotten. Allow this connectedness to rise again in your heart and focus on the joyfulness of just being in loves presents.

What if there is not a person in your life at this moment but your heart is longing to be in a wonderful love filled relationship. Take the first step of letting go of all those conditions you have set up for your self in the past. Then allow love to enter your life through seeing yourself as loveable. As you are doing this allow yourself to let go of the past thoughts of how you will attract the perfect person into your life. Allow your spirit to guide you and know that God wants you to have a wonderful relationship and God wants you to experience the full expression of love.

Forget the past it really is the past and not a part of your experience in the now.

Open your heart to allowing the flow of love to engulf you in all ways.

Accept that your spirit wants you to experience love in many ways.

Let go of self doubts and ego.

Focus on just being the happy person your spirit truly is.

Laugh and be silly.

Let go of the thought “I love you if”

Allow love to touch you in ways that may frighten you at times for this is just your ego trying to sabotage you.

Hearts do not really break they just build walls that condition us in ways to avoid getting our ego hurt again and again.

When you let the ego go you will have the true experience of love.

I have to admit this was an eye opening experience for me as I was writing this. I have to admit that I too have let my ego get in the way of love and being loved. I hope that you will decide as I have to allow love into your heart. Isn’t it time to let go of the ego created thoughts of how you will control this love as it is already a part of your spirit. It is time to set love free to dwell in your heart forever.

Blessings from Julie
