I am learning to love without negative attachments with others. Our emotional landscapes shaped by our childhood and past experiences determine the negative energy cords that we create in our adult lives. If we have experienced abuse or trauma, we have “learned” to make these negative attachments with others through these negative energy cords.
Many of us, including myself, confuse these negative attachments with love. Love is very different than negative attachments that is filled with past feelings of rejection, hurt, loss, betrayal, jealousy, judgment, or abandonment. Many of us associate these feelings with love. Love, on the other hand, is the essence of who we are filled with warmth, light, acceptance, stability, compassion, and kindness.
The first step to emotional healing is awareness of what is happening to us, and the patterns within our emotional landscape. After becoming aware, we take the next step to break these negative energy bonds with others. If we have genuine love with others than what remains is love after these negative energy cords are separated. May you find healthy love in your life.
