The Protective Heart- Learning To Love

Morning comes each day and we are reminded of new beginnings and the everlasting love that our creator has for all of the world inhabitants.

This life unfolds and rises again with the glorious sun.
How does one learn to live and love again after heartache and loss is a question that I am often asked.

We are all experts on our own experience and hearts as well as our grief experiences.

There is no way to insulate our heart from life and living.

To protect the heart and store it away keeping it safe from harm only harms us in the end. Healing from life’s traumas is a challenging one and the only way through as the poet Frost eloquently penned.

The difficult painful emotional slivers that show up after some emotional growth and healing remind us of our past wounds and  possibly serve as another reminder that we are here and we have hearts.

These slivers so to speak remind us of the healing left to work through.

The self healing and self love is more than a bumper sticker slogan it is a way of being.

This is the difficult part.

Learning to love self with a the deepest compassion.

This is a process.

Healing the heart for many takes a lifetime yet in the process can we love?

You bet we can.

Letting go of masks and the protective shields takes time and courage.

If you find yourself after awakening and moving forward and then closing back up it is ok and you are just where you need to be.

Take a breathe and don’t stop here.

Move forward with baby steps.

Wrap your arms around yourself and ground in this moment.

You are bliss and and created to create a source of infinite possibilities.

You are here to learn and grow in this messy classroom called life.

Other humans will serve not only as companions but as mirrors to our own insecurities and wounds.

This is how relationships work.

We are all spiritual beings on the plane of love. We are all here together and yet separate.

We are all living and co-creating this beautiful life and love.

Darling ones this life is now.

This life is for taking small steps forward and sometimes that side shuffle.

Hide not your heart.

This doesn’t work anyway.

Delve into the inner sanctuary of love the open heart

What will find is that your heart speaks a language onto itself.

The language of your heart speaks to your higher self and to the one that created you and loves you beyond measure.

Fear not love or life for everything that you want and desire is here and this love that you so fear is in fact fearless, resistant and ever true.

This love will not come from another for it is the love that resides within waiting to love others without prejudice without fear without expecting anything in return.

This love has compassion for yourself and others.

This love is unyielding and effervescent.

Love is here even if you are not quite ready so let it begin with saying ” In this moment I am here walking forward and in this moment I choose love letting go of some of the pain that I carry.

Today let the sunrise remind me you of this love.
