Love spans the trinity of body/mind/spirit. We’ve all felt examples of such loves: desire and attraction when love is in the physical, admiration and intrigue when love is in the mental, and recognition and yearning when love is in the spiritual. That spiritual love can have you turn in the middle of the street to talk to someone, make you pick up the phone as you swallow your pride to call someone, recognize a love so familiar you weep knowing you must have been together before. Spiritual love can make you become a better person. It can put you on the path of becoming more aware so that you can meet your soul mate, ready and able. There are so many kinds of love and so much involved in the courtship and cultural games people play. How does one manage all this when on a spiritual path? Breathe in and out. Be open and intuitive. Go with your instincts of when to stay or go. If you want to attract your soul mate, or experience love in ways you never have before (intensified, intensified) then start working on opening your heart. When chakras are open the energy flow nourishes that area and most importantly allows fresh new energy to flow through. Opening the heart chakra isn’t easy for those who have suffered pain and heart ache during usual living. We put barriers around our heart to help protect us. To get the fresh energy flowing up and down your body, where you can be refreshed and renewed, you need the heart chakra open and the only way to open it is to break down those walls you’ve put in place for all those years. Sledgehammer them away; knock them over and excavate them out – each brick representing a painful word or rejection from this life or past lives. Clear space around your heart so you can imagine the light to enter. The butterflies and the birds are there. The cherubs dropping love nectar are there. Angels and saints and your gurus now have enough room to be there too. I am open and I am free, your heart says at last. And I will recognize love in all things and exude love to the best of my ability – that is what I’m here for. I am no longer afraid or restricted.
