Remember when you were a child, a small bandage, a hug and a kiss could cure most anything, from a cut finger to a broken toy. That universal truth is still in existence. Love can still mend a broken heart, save a lonely soul, and heal a broken toe. It can bring joy to a saddened heart, light into darkness, and peace into a stressful situation. Love can cure depression, and addictions. It can be the force that can change any emotional event, circumstance, or situation into one of compassion, and empathy, and on occasion it can even bring sunshine to a rainy Saturday afternoon.
How do we bring more love into our lives?
How do we send out love?
I feel that we do not take the time to learn and develop the essence of this mystical universal principle of love heals all. While receiving love is no doubt the ultimate healing potion ever believed you must be able to send love before you can receive love. It is the sending of love to any other living being that creates the most beneficial results when it comes to the health and wellness of your heart and soul.
When love is an action instead of a feeling and sent out expecting nothing in return, the real magic begins. This universal principle of nature holds true in everything we do. Every action of love toward another living being, whether it be in spirit, a person, an animal, or plant, the universe will respond with magic back to you in many forms. The most common is the feeling of well being and euphoria that comes over your entire body. You naturally boost all of your immune systems. You walk with a spring in your step. You find that some of the small things that used to irritate you now don’t seem all that important. You find that each day you awake with a new vitality for life and a willingness to do something great.
So how do we use this universal law to be the best person toward others that we can be?
How do we send out unconditional love for everyone and everything into the universe without expectation of anything in return? Where do we start?
With yourself, always with yourself. It is an inside out approach.
Honesty, sincerity, and truthfulness are the foundations of this universal truth, and until you can be honest and truthful with yourself, and be sincere from within your heart in you actions, you can not realize these magical powers.
Before you can give away love to others you must have love to give away. It must come from a place within your soul that is serene and peaceful. Not full of stress, anxiety, jealousness, or a need to be first or more important than anyone else. If you are full of stress, anger, anxiety, and jealously, that’s what you send out to others. If you are full of kindness, peace, happiness, and love then that is what you to send out.
This may require a complete change from within you. Most of us feel that we are kind and loving people who would normally do most anything for another in need. We may put some loose change in the hand of the homeless. We send a check to a charity organization once a year, or give some can food to get a movie discount. These are all acts of kindness and this kindness may often be rewarded, but not with that warming feeling of peacefulness that spreads throughout your entire body, and causes you to look at yourself and others in a more loving way. The type of euphoric feeling I am referring to comes from deeper inside of us. It comes from a place where we do these unselfish acts unknowingly, because it is what we must do, not because we have a guilty conscious or an unmet need.
The only way that unselfish love will express itself from within you is if that is truly what is inside you. Almost as if you cannot send out anything else, think anything else, or be any other way toward yourself or another.
Start today, look at yourself in the mirror and make the choice that whatever events or circumstances come your way today, that in your heart of hearts you will respond with love, peace, and kindness. It may be another driver that cuts you off in traffic or a coworker that always seems to upset you with their words or actions. It may be a relative or loved one that you seem to always disagree with. Decide that today for everything that happens you will respond from that goodness in your heart, the unconditional love that was embedded in your spiritual soul at the time you were created. Decide to look for the good and the positive in any person, or situation.
Remarkable things will begin to happen. When you focus your attention on the good rather than the bad, the love, rather than the sad, you will begin to notice that everything around you will change. Everyone around you will change. The energetic, enthusiastic, authentic force that is within you will come to nurture and support you in everything you do.
When was the last time you wrote a letter to a friend? Not an email or a text message, but a real letter, handwritten from the heart?
When was the last time you called a friend or love one just to say I was thinking of you and care about you?
When was the last time you received a hug and kiss from a child?
Children are marvelous at giving love without the slightest expectation of anything in return. Their ego or society has not yet tainted their love, and so this process is natural for them. They do not know any other way, unless we show them one.
You may be thinking if I really become this person of greatness, that sends love and peace to everyone that I will just get taken advantage of and abused. Sadly, this may be true, but if unconditional love is really what you cultivate within your heart and soul, you will forgive them and love them for their unexcused actions. You will have an awareness that good will always prevail over evil and forgiveness over resentment.
Many years ago I was a non-believer in these universal principles. I believed like so many others, get them before they get you. How wrong I was. We always get what we give. There can be no other way, no other answer.
When we can live our lives from this place, then and only then can we reap the full health benefits to our body, heart, and soul that the universe is waiting to give to us. The healing sources that become available to you are unimaginable in common terms. The success and spiritual forces that will come to your cause will make the real difference in your life, and everyone you come into contact with. You will find that anything you desire, can, and will be yours. It will come to you, without thought or action on your part. It will continue to flow into your life.
Be the person that is the difference. Rather than just trying to make a difference.
When we leave this earth we can take nothing with us but the knowing
in our heart and soul, that we gave everything that we could,
to be the difference in someone's life.
