How To Feel “ Love” This Valentine’s Day

As an artist I have a passion for love and it is a topic I focus on in many articles and poems.

As a therapist however, I realize that many struggle with self love and relationships.

Valentine’s Day often coined “ The Hallmark holiday” can be a difficult day for many . It seems that the world idolizes romantic love and coupling . Even couples may struggle with this day and the expectations. Those that are newly single or those grieving loss may feel triggered. I am a caring artist and do feel the pain of the world intensely. Through art and creativity I work to share love and compassion with my community and the world . This I feel is my calling to love .

I have to admit I’m a hopeless romantic and this doesn’t change when I’m single . This year to celebrate V Day I am hosting a live virtual poetry reading and I have invited the world to attend . It is my hope that by sharing my poetry I can share love . My own quest for love has lead me to deeper depths of self discovery and poetic inquiry . Giving time and talents is one way which I learn and grow .

You might ask yourself how can I experience and transform a broken heart to one that is full of self love and radical acceptance ?

How do we do this ?

How does one move from thinking about finding love to a focus of showing love.

I truly believe it is through self love .

This is the start . This love grows and then over flows.
Compassion and altruistic actions come from the heart.

This year I ask you to join me in a heart opening prayer and it begins with a softness and a “ sigh”.

Opening your heart to self love is the start.  Feel your heart centre open and expand love for all beings. If you are alone let the vibrations of love find you and let the light of love flood in .

When we focus on what we can give rather than what we have love expands and grows .
I hope you join me this Valentine’s because you are Love xox Renee
