PATHWAY TO JOY AND HEALING

I talk about self love and forgiveness quite a bit on my blog.  On this Valentine’s Day, a day about love, it is most appropriate to a talk about true love and what that means.  I believe true love is about finding that unconditional love within for ourselves, and it is a day to forgive ourselves and those we love for all our past hurts and  grievances.

I have never truly unconditionally loved anyone before I began my spiritual journey.  All the love I experienced was based on fear, and conditional on not being abandoned. I feared losing that love, and being alone in my life.  Until we find this unconditional love within for ourselves, and not rely on this love externally, we will always be in fear.  Unconditional love cannot be found outside of us, as human we will always let others down as we are flawed.  We must find this unconditional love within ourselves.

When we can find it within to forgive ourselves for all our flaws, mistakes, and hurts we caused others after we change our hurtful behaviors, this is how we unconditionally love ourselves.  We begin to learn to truly forgive others for hurting us, and we begin to heal all the emotional wounds we have been harboring for many soul lives.  It is this process of forgiveness that allows us to become whole emotionally and spiritually, and this is loving ourselves.

This process is difficult as we must first acknowledge those emotional wounds, and we may need to re-experience the pain from our past before we can find this unconditional love within for ourselves.  I use “Emotional Release Practice,” found on this tab on my Blogsite Homepage.  What I have found to be the most difficult in all this is learning to forgive myself for my flaws, past mistakes, and hurts I caused others. But all this is part of the path to self love, and I am well on my way.  Healing love to you on this Valentine’s Day, Brooke (Copyright 2014 Kundalini Spirit with All Rights Reserved)
