Give to Receive

In order to receive love we must first open the heart. 

The heart is a vessel that holds the possibility for abundant love.

However, many of us construct blocks, closed doors, walls...all of these pinch off the ability for Love to flow freely. 

The heart is meant to heal. 

It is the most powerful center that is within our energetic makeup. 

Unless we take the necessary steps to forgive others who have hurt us and forgive OURSELVES for past wrongdoings, then the heart cannot function as a reflection of our Soul's intention. 

The heart is a two way street of receiving and giving. 

In order to receive, we must first give.

This does not mean giving to others before we fill our own cup.

We must learn how to give love to ourselves without judgment or guilt. 

Often times, we can be our own worst critic. 

We do not accept ourselves because others have tried so desperately to shape us into what they believe we should be. 

Some of this is done out of "conditional love". 

We believe we need to act a certain way in order to gain acceptance. 

When we get down to the root cause of low self-esteem, we realize it is a lack of love.

Love is always the answer, it is never wrong.

We must stand in our truth and realign with our divinity.

We recognize that in doing this, Love will automatically flow into us and through us. 

If we are making decisions that go against our innate nature, love cannot live fully in this sort of environment. 

So, stay true to you. Nosce Te Ipsum ("know thyself").

For in knowing who you are, that is where love resides.
